The Eighteenth International Conference on
Parallel Architectures and Compilation Techniques 2009
(PACT-2009)
Raleigh, North Carolina, September 12-16, 2009
http://pact09.renci.org

PACT is a multi-disciplinary conference that brings together researchers from
the hardware and software areas to present ground-breaking research related
to parallel systems ranging across instruction-level parallelism, thread-level parallelism,
multiprocessor parallelism and large scale systems.
PACT solicits novel, unpublished papers on a broad range of topics that include,
but are not limited to, the following:

• Parallel architectures and computational models
• Compilers and tools for parallel computer systems
• Multicore, multithreaded, superscalar, and VLIW architectures
• Support for concurrency correctness in hardware and software
• Compiler/hardware support for managing memory hierarchies
• Hardware and software support for power/heat-aware parallel computing
• Parallel accelerators and reconfigurable computing
• Dynamic translation and optimization for parallel systems
• 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
• Reliability and fault tolerance for parallel systems
• Modeling and simulation of parallel systems and applications
• Parallel applications and experimental systems studies
• Non-traditional parallel computing systems topics
