GPGPU
October 4, 2007 Northeastern University, Boston, MA

Theme

Graphics cards have long been used to accelerate scientific computations. During the past decade, GPUs have become commonplace in many medical, civil and remote-sensing imaging applications, though have relied on programming interfaces that utilized graphics primitives and libraries. Only recently have general purpose programming environments become available that allow these platforms to be used to accelerate a wider class of applications.

The goal of this workshop is to provide a forum to discuss these general purpose programming environments and platforms, as well as describe successful applications that have leveraged this new approach to acceleration. This year's workshop is particularly interested in imaging applications, though will consider submissions in a range of areas.

Topics of interest include:

GPU-based applications

GPU programming environments

GPU architectures

GPU software and operating systems

GPU power/efficiency

GPU benchmarking/measurements


The workshop format will include a keynote, 3 invited talks, as well as presentation of refereed papers.

Industry Sponsor:

We are pleased to have as a sponsor of GPGPU.
