Symposium on Parallellisme in Algorithms and Architectures

SPAÂ , the ACM Symposium on Parallellisme in Algorithms and Architectures , is an academic conference in the areas of parallel computing and distributed computing . It is sponsored by the Association for Computing Machinery Special Interest groups SIGACT and SIGARCH , and it is organized in cooperation with the European Association for Theoretical Computer Science (EATCS).

History

SPAÂ was first organized on 18-21 June 1989 in Santa Fe, New Mexico , United States . [2] In 1989-2002, SPAÂ was known as Symposium on Parallel Algorithms and Architectures . In 2003, the name changed to Symposium on Parallellisme in Algorithms and Architectures to reflect the wide scope of the conference. [3]

In 2003 and 2007 SPAÂ was part of the Federated Computing Research Conference (FCRC), and in 1998, 2005 and 2009 SPAÂ was co-located with the ACM Symposium on Principles of Distributed Computing (PODC).
