Abstract:
The recent advances in hardware functionality and programmability of graphics processors (GPUs) have greatly increased their appeal as add-on co-processors for general-purpose computing. With the involvement of the largest processor manufacturers and the strong interest from researchers of various disciplines this approach is moving from a research niche to a forward-looking technique for heterogeneous parallel computing.
The aim of this minisymposium is to bring together experts working on the development of techniques and tools (e.g., compilers, high-level application programming interfaces, etc.) that improve the programmability of GPUs as well as experts interested in utilizing the computational power of GPUs for scientific applications.
To be held at the
PPAM 2009
EIGHTH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON
PARALLEL PROCESSING AND APPLIED MATHEMATICS
Wroclaw, Poland,
September 13-16, 2009

Fast forward session
The minisymposium will have a fast forward slot on Monday at 17:25-17:40, which allows the participants to inform each other about their current work or work demands for GPUs.
If you are interested then prepare at most three slides on a USB drive and come forward during the minisymposium coffee break 15:40-16:00 on Monday so that we can copy all presentations onto one laptop. You will then receive a number indicating the order of your presentations.
All presenters have a strict limit of ONE minute. There will be 10sec for transitioning between the speakers. So overall, we can accommodate approximately 20 fast forward presentations.
Please practice your fast forward presentation to ensure compliance with the ONE minute rule which will be strictly enforced.
As the fast forward slot will end the minisymposium talks on Monday we hope that mutual presentations of the participants will stimulate further discussion afterwards.
