The 29th International Conference on Parallel Architectures and Compilation Techniques (PACT) will be held during October 2, 5-7, 2020. PACT is a long-running and unique conference at the intersection of classical parallel architectures and compilers that brings together researchers from architecture, compilers, programming languages, and applications to present and discuss their latest research results. Applications as a driver for innovations in architecture and compilers are an important theme of the conference.
Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the conference is being held online as a virtual event. We look forward to your participation.
