Symposium on Parallelism in Algorithms and Architectures
Encyclopedia
SPAA, the ACM Symposium on Parallelism in Algorithms and Architectures, is an academic conference
in the fields 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).
, United States
. In 1989–2002, SPAA was known as Symposium on Parallel Algorithms and Architectures. In 2003, the name changed to Symposium on Parallelism in Algorithms and Architectures to reflect the extended scope of the conference.
In 2003 and 2007, SPAA was part of the Federated Computing Research Conference
(FCRC), and in 1998, 2005, and 2009, SPAA was co-located with the ACM Symposium on Principles of Distributed Computing
(PODC).
Academic conference
An academic conference or symposium is a conference for researchers to present and discuss their work. Together with academic or scientific journals, conferences provide an important channel for exchange of information between researchers.-Overview:Conferences are usually composed of various...

Parallel computing
Parallel computing is a form of computation in which many calculations are carried out simultaneously, operating on the principle that large problems can often be divided into smaller ones, which are then solved concurrently . There are several different forms of parallel computing: bit-level,...
