PACT 2017

26th International Conference on Parallel Architectures & Compilation Techniques (PACT)
Portland, Oregon, USA
September 9-13, 2017

IMPORTANT DATES:
Proposal submissions due: Fri, April 7, 2017 (23:59 PST)
Acceptance notification: Fri, April 21, 2017 (23:59 PST)

PACT is seeking proposals for workshops and tutorials to accompany the conference. PACT started as a Data Flow Workshop in conjunction with ISCA 1989 but quickly evolved into a unique venue at the intersection of classical parallel architecture and compilers. Recently, PACT widened its scope to include insights useful for the design of machines and compilers from applications such as, but not limited to, machine learning, data analytics and computational biology. PACT 2017 will be held in the colorful city of Portland, Oregon. Portland provides an unique intersection of city excitement and small town charm, and is known as “the City of Roses,” a favorite destination.

We encourage members of the community to consider submitting proposals for workshops and tutorials that bring together researchers and practitioners working on research topics of interest to the PACT community.
