CALL FOR PAPERS

International Conference on Parallel Architectures and Compilation Techniques
                    June 27-29, 1995, Limassol, Cyprus

          Sponsored by the IFIP WG 10.3 (Concurrent Systems), ACM SIGARCH, 
                     and IEEE TC on Computer Architecture.


CONFERENCE OBJECTIVES

There are enormous opportunities for parallelism in future generation
high-performance computer systems. Facing the challenge of exploiting
such parallelism, a simple "instruction set" as a binding contract
between architects and compiler writers may no longer be enough. Based
on the success and enthusiastic feedback received from the first
working conference held in Orlando, Florida in January 1993, as well
as the second PACT (Montreal, Canada, August 1994), the purpose of
this working conference is to provide an open forum for the parallel
architecture and compiler research communities to discuss and debate
key issues of common interest and see how parallelism can be enhanced
and exploited more efficiently in a joint effort. Also we aim at
bringing together researchers with interest in both conventional and
non-conventional approaches (e.g., data-flow, multithreading, etc.) to
foster communication. Papers are solicited which contain significant
novel ideas and research results. Conference topics include (but are
not limited to):

       o Novel computation models for fine and medium grain parallelism
       o Architectures and compilers for medium grain parallelism
       o Architectures and compilers for fine grain parallelism
       o Compiler / hardware techniques for exploitation of fine-grain 
         parallelism in massively parallel machines
       o Major projects in data-driven and multithreaded machines, 
         and other competing novel approaches to parallelism
       o Exploitation of fine grain and medium grain parallelism in 
         application-specific architectures using data-flow, 
         multithreaded or related approaches.
