CALL FOR PAPERS: GPGPU-3
General-purpose Processing on Graphics Processing Units

http://www.ece.neu.edu/groups/nucar/GPGPU

March 14, 2010
Pittsburgh, PA
Held in cooperation with ASPLOS XV

Overview:

Graphics cards have long been used to accelerate gaming and 3D graphics applications. More recently, they have begun to be used to accelerate more general-purpose and high-performance applications. GPUs are beginning to be used to accelerate a wide range of remote sensing, environmental monitoring, business forecasting and medical imaging applications. We have begun to see an explosion in the number of 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 approach to acceleration. This year’s workshop is particularly interested in code/compiler optimizations, supercomputing environments, and virtualization techniques that lower the barrier to successfully utilizing these platforms.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• GPU-based applications
• GPU programming environments
• GPU architectures
• GPU compilers & operating systems
• GPU power & efficiency
• GPU benchmarking, measurements & scalability

All accepted papers will be published in the ACM International Conference Series. See the ACM Digital Library for more information. Papers should
follow the ACM publication format (2 column, 9pt font), and are limited to 12 pages. More information regarding paper format will be provided shortly.

Important Dates:

• Papers due: January 15, 2010
• Notification to authors: February 19, 2010
• Workshop: March 14, 2010
