Call for Papers of

Topic 7: Parallel Computer Architecture and ILP of the Euro-Par 2005 Conference
30th August - 2nd September, 2005 in Lisboa, Portugal http://europar05.di.fct.unl.pt/

Keydates:

Submission Deadline:     31th January, 2005
Author Notification:       3rd May, 2005
Camera Ready papers due:     30th May, 2005

Instruction-Level Parallelism and parallel processing techniques are present in most contemporary computing systems. The scope of this topic includes (but is not limited to) parallel computer architectures, processor architecture (architecture and microarchitecture as well as compilation), the impact of emerging microprocessor architectures on parallel computer architectures, innovative memory designs to hide and reduce the access latency, multi-threading, and the impact of emerging applications on parallel computer architecture design. Our aim is to bring together researchers in the fields of parallel computer architecture and processor architecture. We invite researchers with interest in both conventional and non-conventional approaches to

participate. Papers are being sought on all aspects of parallel computer architecture, processor architecture and microarchitecture, including (but not limited to) the following list of topics.
