CONFERENCE PROGRAM
 
PACT is a long-running 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.
 
This year's program reflects many of the exciting advances being made in our field,
particularly around topics related to heterogeneity: The continuing evolution of
general-purpose accelerators and the rise (the return?) of domain-specific/
special-purpose hardware. The program also features a machine learning as a driving
application class for architectural innovation.
