Conference Objectives:
----------------------
The purpose of PACT is to bring together researchers from
architecture, compilers, applications and languages to present and
discuss innovative research of common interest.  PACT solicits novel
papers, workshops, tutorials and entries to an ACM student research
competition on a broad range of topics that include, but are not
limited to:

- Parallel architectures and computational models
- Compilers and tools for parallel computer systems
- Multicore, multithreaded, superscalar, and VLIW architectures
- Compiler/hardware support for hiding memory latencies
- Support for correctness in hardware and software
- Reconfigurable parallel computing
- Dynamic translation and optimization
- I/O issues in parallel computing and their relation to applications
- Parallel programming languages, algorithms and applications
- Middleware and run time system support for parallel computing
- Application-specific parallel systems
- Applications and experimental systems studies of parallel processing
- Relevant aspects of distributed computing and mobile computing
- Heterogeneous systems using various types of accelerators
- Insights from modern parallel applications such as, but not limited to,  
machine learning, data analytics, and computational biology for the design of 
parallel architectures and compilers
