Located between Nice and Cannes, 13 kilometers away from the Nice Cote d'Azur international airport, Antibes Juan-les-Pins ranks as the second largest town in the Cote 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. PACT aims at bringing together researchers in architecture, compilers, applications and languages to present and discuss innovative research of common interest. PACT solicits novel papers on a broad range of topics that include, but are 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 Information for Authors Papers should not exceed 6000 words in PDF or Postcript format.

Just as has been done before for power-aware computing, "temperature-aware" computing must be approached not just from the packaging and circuit-design communities, but also from the processor- and systems- architecture communities. Many techniques for managing operating temperature will use power-management techniques, but possibly in different ways than for energy efficiency. There is growing interest in cooling solutions from the processor- and systems-architecture domains, as evidenced by recent work on fetch throttling, dynamic voltage scaling, and process scheduling in response to thermal stress; and some progress has been made on modeling infrastructure for this kind of research. But research so far has only scratched the surface of what is possible.=20 This workshop will serve as a forum to explore a broad spectrum of topics pertaining to temperature-aware computer architecture, for researchers to exchange ideas and initiate collaborations, and will help to establish temperature-aware computing as an important research topic in its own right.=20 Topics of Interest:=20 Submissions are welcomed on any topic pertaining to temperature-aware architecture, including but not limited to:=20 Modeling=20 Dynamic thermal management for the CPU and other system components=20 Circuit/architecture/OS cooperation=20 Scheduling techniques=20 Sensitivity of other metrics to operating temperature=20 Workload characterization=20 Application-specific thermal optimizations=20 New applications and sampling techniques for thermal studies=20 Interaction of thermal management, energy efficiency, and voltage stability.=20 Interaction of thermal management with real-time requirements=20 The paper should be in IEEE conference format and at most ten pages in length including all figures, references, etc. Excessively long papers will be rejected without review.=20 Detailed formatting instructions and LaTeX/Word templates are available at the workshop website, http://www.cs.virginia.edu/~skadron/tacs/ Organizers Kevin Skadron, Univ. of Virginia Dept. of Computer Science=20 Mircea Stan, Univ. of Virginia Dept. of Electrical and Computer Engineering=20 Program Committee Sarita Adve, Univ. of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign=20 Krste Asanovic, MIT=20 Frank Bellosa, University of Erlangen-N=FCrnberg=20 Pradip Bose, IBM TJ Watson=20 David Brooks, Harvard=20 Jos=E9 Gonz=E1lez, Intel Barcelona Research Center=20 Steve Gunther, Intel=20 Steve Kosonocky, IBM TJ Watson=20 Avi Mendelson, Intel Israel=20 Li-Shiuan Peh, Princeton=20 Important Dates Submission deadline: April 5=20 Author notification: May 7=20 Final manuscripts: May 24 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------- IEEE Micro Call for Papers Special issue on "Network Processors for future high-end Systems and Applications" Submission deadline: 1 March 2004 Revision requests to authors: 1 June 2004 Accept/reject notification: 1 July 2004 Publication Date: September-October 2004 More information can be found at: http://www.computer.org/micro/articles/CFP/cfpsi0504.htm =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D Ninth Asia-Pacific Computer Systems Architecture Conference=20 (ACSAC04) http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~acsac04 Beijing, China September 7 - 9, 2004 (Submission deadline: February 29, 2004)=20 Sponsored by National Natural Science Foundation of China, NICTA ICT Aust= ralia,=20 and School of CSE at UNSW and in cooperation with IEEE Technical Committe= e on Computer Architecture (TCCA) (pending) and Technical Committee on Paralle= l Processing (TCPP) (pending).
