We invite submissions to PACT 2026 — The International Conference on Parallel Architectures and Compilation Techniques, that is held in Chicago IL USA on Oct 19-22, 2026.
PACT is a premier forum for research at the intersection of parallel architectures, compilers, runtime systems, and programming models. The conference emphasizes cross-layer design, hardware–software co-design, and rigorous quantitative evaluation of emerging computing systems.
