CONFERENCE OBJECTIVES

The purpose of this working conference, the eighth 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 in parallel processing (MPP, SMP, clustered-SMP, data-flow, ILP, multi-threading, and optical) to participate. 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 multi-threading, Java processors with parallelism, novel compiler optimizations for Java, etc.);
• 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, etc.):
• New parallel programming languages and paradigms;
• Application studies that demonstrate the performance of parallel computer systems;
• Reconfigurable architectures;
