Current and future generation computer systems are aggressively pursuing parallelism for increased performance. As the field matures, the gulf between hardware and software performance grows larger. The purpose of this working conference, the sixth 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 discuss how the two communities might work together to more efficiently exploit the performance of parallel systems. We invite researchers with interest in both conventional and non-conventional approaches (MPP, SMP, clustered-SMP, data-flow, multi-threading, and optical) to participate. We solicit papers which contain significant novel ideas and research results, and tutorial proposals in the conferenceÕs general areas. Conference topics include (but are not limited to):

This year at PACT, there will be a workshop on the future and
development of the Sisal functional parallel programming language.
All those interested in the Sisal language, or in functional and/or
parallel programming languages, are invited to attend. For more
