PACT is a multi-disciplinary conference that brings together researchers from the hardware and software areas to present ground-breaking research related to parallel systems ranging across instruction-level parallelism, thread-level parallelism, multiprocessor parallelism and distributed systems.

PACT features cutting-edge research in architecture, compilers, languages and applications across a broad range of topics, including, but not limited to:

  • Parallel architectures and computational models

  • Compilers and tools for parallel computer systems

  • Superscalar, VLIW and multithreaded architectures

  • Compiler/hardware support for hiding memory latencies

  • Hardware and software support for energy/heat-aware computing

  • Hardware and software for network processing

  • Reconfigurable computing

  • Dynamic translation and optimization

  • I/O issues in parallel computing and their relation to applications

  • Parallel programming languages, algorithms and applications

  • Run time system support for parallel systems

  • Mobile/wireless computing for parallel applications

  • Application specific systems

  • Applications and experimental systems studies

  • Parallel processing in the context of Java

  • Non-traditional computing systems topics

LOCAL INFORMATION / TRANSPORTATION

For flight information, refer to the web site of Nice Airport which is the main international airport closed (13km) to the conference location.

If you want to prepare your stay and to enjoy the french riviera, visit the web site of the department of tourism of Antibes Juan-les-Pins.

Located between Nice and Cannes, 13 kilometers away from the Nice Côte d'Azur international airport, Antibes Juan-les-Pins ranks as the second largest town in the Côte d'Azur region (after Nice and just ahead of Cannes). The town has one of the prettiest coastal landscapes in France, which spreads on about 25 kilometers. The Sophia-Antipolis technological park is located at the North East of the city.

The history of the city is best chronicled by events over the past centuries in France and in Europe, which have affected the evolution of this city. The settlement, first named Antipolis, was an essential commercial port for ancient Greek vessels. Under Roman invasion, the city became known as Antiboul, and developed into an important commercial center and harbor for ships in the Mediterranean basin.

The Picasso museum was founded on the ancient acropolis of the Greek town Antipolis, a Roman castrum, residence of the bishops in the Middle Ages and inhabited until 1608 by the Grimaldi family who have gave their name to the chateau . In 1928, the chateau was bought by the town of Antibes Juan-les-Pins and transformed into a Museum of Art, History and Archeology.
