FGC 2010 - The First International Workshop on Frontier of GPU Computing



CALL FOR PAPERS

FGC 2010 - The First International Workshop on Frontier of GPU Computing

To be held in conjunction with CIT 2010

Bradford, UK, 29 June - 01 July, 2010

[url=“The First International Workshop on Frontier of GPU Computing (FGC 2010)”]http://www.comp.hkbu.edu.hk/~chxw/fgc2010/index.php[/url]



Journal Special Issues

Distinguished selected papers accepted and presented in FGC 2010, after further
extension and revisions, will be published in special issues of the following
prestigious SCI-Indexed Journals:

  • Journal of Supercomputing ?Springer
  • Journal of Computer and System Sciences ?Elsevier
  • Concurrency and Computation: Practice and Experience - John Wiley & Sons

Scope

We are undergoing a new revolution on parallel processor technologies, especially
the Graphic Processing Units. GPUs have become widely used nowadays to accelerate
a broad range of applications, including computational finance, numerical computing,
image/video processing, engineering simulations, quantum chemistry, just to name a
few.

The goal of this workshop is to provide a forum for researchers and practitioners
to discuss and share their research and development experiences and outputs on the
massively parallel GPU platforms, software development tools, optimization techniques,
parallel algorithm design, and all kinds of successful applications. We solicit
original and previously unpublished papers addressing research challenges and advances
towards the design, implementation and evaluation of massively parallel GPU computing.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

  • Applications on GPU Computing
  • Performance Modeling and Benchmarking
  • Processor Architectures
  • Programming Languages and Compilers
  • Middleware and Libraries
  • GPU Clusters
  • Self-configuration and Fault-tolerance

Paper Submission

Authors are invited to submit manuscripts reporting original unpublished research
and recent developments in the topics related to the workshop. The length of the
papers should not exceed 6 pages + 2 pages for overlength charges (IEEE Computer
Society Proceedings Manuscripts style: two columns, single-spaced), including figures
and references, using 10 fonts, and number each page. All papers will be peer reviewed
and the comments will be provided to the authors. The accepted papers will be published
together with those of other workshops by the IEEE Computer Society Press.

(to be announced)

If you want to combine two or three conferences, note that High Performance Graphics and EGSR 2010 are being held in Germany immediately prior to FGC 2010 above. HPG is June 25-27 and EGSR is June 28 to June 30.

Last year, most (80%?) of HPG’s papers were GPU-centric.

Going to all three conferences would be a pretty intense geek-week.

This one is not in Germany, but it might be an alternative for those of us who don’t want to sit on a 10 hour international flight. :)

This is held in conjunction with ASPLOS so the focus is more on GPU architecture/compilers/operating systems than domain specific applications.
