                                 PACT '97

                   The 1997 International Conference on
            Parallel Architectures and Compilation Techniques

                           November 11-15, 1997

CONFERENCE OBJECTIVES
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 migh=
t
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 conference=D5s general areas. Conference topics include
(but are not limited to):

* Parallel architectures and computation models;
* Application-specific parallel architectures;
* Compilers for parallel computer systems;
* Compiler/hardware support for reducing memory latencies;
* Compiler/hardware support for exploiting fine and medium grain
    parallelism;
* Compiler/hardware support for exploiting instruction-level parallelism;
* New parallel programming languages and paradigms;
* Application studies that demonstrate the performance of parallel
computer
    systems.
