  * Compilers and tools for parallel computer systems
  * Multicore, multithreaded, superscalar, and VLIW architectures
  * Compiler/hardware support for hiding memory latencies
  * Support for correctness in hardware and software (esp. with 
concurrency)
  * Reconfigurable computing
  * Dynamic translation and optimization
  * I/O issues in parallel computing and their relation to applications
  * Parallel programming languages, algorithms and applications
  * Middleware and run-time system support for parallel computing
  * High performance application specific systems
  * Applications and experimental systems studies
  * Non-traditional computing systems topics
