Call for full, PHD Showcase and short papers
Workshop on GPU Technology - GPUTech (2016)
To be held in conjunction with
The 16th International Conference on Computational Science and Its Applications
(ICCSA 2016)
Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, Beijing (China)
July 4-7, 2016
In the big data era, Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) provides a fast power-efficient architecture in accelerating many regular applications specially those involving dense matrix operations and, more recently, irregular and low-arithmetic intensity applications like in which the control flow and memory access patterns are data-dependent.
The aim of this workshop is to provide a forum to discuss new and emerging general-purpose purpose programming environments and platforms, as well as evaluate applications that have been able to exploit the power provided by these platforms with special emphasis on applications, performance analysis, programming models, languages and libraries, compilers, algorithms.
Topics of interest, of both theoretical and practical significance, include but are not limited to:
GPU benchmarking/measurements;
Multi-GPU systems;
Heterogeneous GPU platforms;
Scientific Computing;
Algorithms for Big Data Analytics;
Machine Learning and Deep Learning;
GPU power/efficiency solutions;
GPU applications.
Besides regular papers, papers describing work-in-progress or incomplete but sound, innovative ideas related to the workshop theme are also encouraged.
We solicit full papers (10-16 pages), PHD showcase papers (6-8 pages) and short papers (5-6 pages).
Accepted high-quality papers will appear in the conference proceedings to be published by:
●Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) (edited by Springer), if full papers
●Conference Publishing System (CPS), if PHD showcase papers or short papers
To submit their contributions the authors have to register and connect to http ://ess .iccsa .org.
Detailed instructions are available at http://www.iccsa.org/Instructions-for-authors.
Important: Please select the GPUTech Workshop when submitting the abstract and the full paper, as shown in Figure 1.
Important: The best paper on GPU technologies will get a GPU card kindly offered by NVIDIA: the NVIDIA GeForge GTX TITAN X (commercial value 1300 USD approx)
