Conference Objectives
The purpose of this working conference, the seventh in the series, is
to provide an open forum for the parallel architecture and compiler
research communities to debate key issues of common interest, and to
further the state of the art in parallel architectures and compilers.
We invite researchers with interest in both conventional and
non-conventional approaches (MPP, SMP, clustered-SMP, data-flow, ILP,
multi-threading, and optical) to participate. A new theme in the
present conference will be parallel processing in the context of JAVA,
a topic that has recently been gaining importance. We solicit papers
which contain significant novel ideas and research results.
Conference topics include (but are not limited to):
- Parallel architectures and computation models;
- Theoretical foundations of parallel architectures;
- Parallel processing in the context of JAVA
(JAVA multithreading, JAVA processors with parallelism, novel compiler
optimizations for JAVA,...)
- Application-specific parallel architectures;
- Compilers for parallel computer systems;
- Compiler/hardware support for hiding memory latencies;
- Advances in architectures and compilers for
ILP (superscalar, VLIW, multiscalar architectures...)
- New parallel programming languages and paradigms;
- Application studies that demonstrate the performance of parallel
computer systems.
- Reconfigurable architectures
