*****************************************************************

PACT-03 will be held in New Orleans, LA, a major cultural center of
the southern United States.  The city offers such attractions as
Mardi Gras, the French Quarter, Bourbon St., the Mississippi River
and is the home of dixieland jazz.

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 solicits papers on advances in architecture, compilers, languages and
applications across a broad range of topics, including, but not limited to:

- Hardware/software optimizations for memory hierarchies
- Programming languages for parallel scientific and object-oriented
applications
- Superscalar, VLIW, and multithreading architectures
- I/O, network processing and O/S issues for parallel computing
- Parallel aspects of power-aware and mobile/wireless computing
- Reconfigurable computing and novel parallel architectures
- Just-in-time/dynamic compilation for parallelism
- Parallel algorithms, computation models and simulation techniques
- Parallel software development tools supporting performance analysis/tuning
  and debugging

Selected papers will be invited for publication in the
Journal of Instruction Level Parallelism.  Please check
