Partnering with NVIDIA and Microsoft, this four day CUDA training course is designed for Researchers and Programmers in the life science industries who are looking to develop comprehensive skills in writing and optimizing applications that fully leverage the many-core processing capabilities of the GPU. It is held in Boston, MA, on June 4-7, 2012. This course will have a life science theme. Commonly used algorithms such as Monte Carlo methods, FFT and filtering will be used and profiled in examples. The case study on day 4 focuses on the efficient implementation of a molecular dynamics simulation. More information: http://www.acceleware.com/jun4boston

Submissions are cordially invited for MCC-III, to be held in Stuttgart, Germany, September 19-21. This conference is the 3rd in a series, starting in 2010 in Heidelberg at the Heidelberg Academy of Sciences (HAW) and 2011 at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and the Engineering Mathematics and Computing Lab (EMCL). It aims to combine new aspects of multi-/manycore microprocessor technologies, parallel applications, numerical simulation, software development and tools. Contributions are welcome from all participating disciplines. Particular emphasis is placed on the support and advancement of young scientists, in addition to high-quality invited keynote talks and tutorials.

High Performance Graphics is the leading international forum for performance-oriented graphics systems research including innovative algorithms, efficient implementations, and hardware architecture. The conference brings together researchers, engineers, and architects to discuss the complex interactions of massively parallel hardware, novel programming models, efficient graphics algorithms, and novel applications. HPG2012, which will take place on June 25-27, is co-located with the Eurographics Symposium on Rendering in Paris, France.

Original and innovative performance-oriented contributions from all areas of graphics are cordially invited for both the papers and the posters track. Please refer to the conference website, located at http://www.highperformancegraphics.org, for more details and the full call.

In recent years, utilizing Graphics Processing Units for general processing has become a very popular approach to obtain low-cost high performance computing applications. Algorithms from many computer science application domains have been adapted to utilize GPUs to increase the efficiency of processing. Unfortunately, while other application domains strongly benefit from utilizing the GPUs, databases related applications seem not to get enough attention. The main goal of GPUs in Databases workshop is to fill this gap. This event is devoted to sharing the knowledge related to applying GPUs in Database environments and to discuss possible future development of this application domain.

The list of topics includes: data compression on GPU, GPUs in databases and data warehouses, data mining using GPUs, stream processing, applications of GPUs in bioinformatics and data oriented GPU primitives.
