Exploitation of novel computer architectures, such as general purpose GPUs, is allowing researchers to accelerate the realization of frontier models in particle-based simulation, by enabling an increase in the level of realism in the description of the particles and their interactions and increasing both the number of particles and the timescales simulated.

This one-day meeting focuses on the new and exciting area of the exploitation of GPUs and related technology in the area of biomolecular simulations.

In addition to a programme of national and international speakers in the field, there is the opportunity to present a poster on your research. Read the rest of this entry »

This meeting is organized by Toby Breckon & Stuart Barnes (Cranfield University) and the British Machine Vision Association and Society for Pattern Recognition. It will be held in London, UK, on 18 May 2011. The CfP poster is available at http://www.cranfield.ac.uk/~toby.breckon/events/bmva_symp_gpu11.pdf.

Almost all the presentations from the recent UK GPU Computing Conference held on December 13-14 2010 in Cambridge  are now available at http://www.many-core.group.cam.ac.uk/ukgpucc2/programme.shtml. Over 100 delegates saw a varied mix of talks from both industry and academia over the 2 day meeting.

The ASIM (Arbeitsgruppe Simulation) and the TUM are jointly organizing the ASIM Workshop 2011 at Technische Universität München (TUM) and the Leibniz Supercomputing Centre, Germany. The workshop theme is “Trends in Computational Science and Engineering: Foundations of Modeling and Simulation” and will take place March 14 to March 16, 2011. The conference program consists of two building blocks: contributed talks and an extensive poster session for new and upcoming Ph.D. students. Poster submissions are cordially invited; registration closes February 12, 2011. More information is available at http://www5.in.tum.de/asim2011.html.

Researchers in industry academia are invited to submit their latest research results to the “Reconfigurable and GPU Computing” track at the 9th ACS/IEEE (pending approval) International Conference on Computer Systems and Applications (AICCSA 2011). The conference website is http://www.aiccsa.org. Deadline for submission is Nov. 8, 2010.

Recofigurable & GPGPU topics include:

• Algorithms and mathematical applications
• Languages and system software
• Hardware implementation and supporting technologies
• Theoretical models and performance estimation
• Simulation environments and prototyping
• Case studies and comparisons of real-life technologies
• Run time reconfiguration
• Energy efficiency
• Architectural issues and tradeoffs
• Hybrid GPU/reconfigurable systems
• Hardware accelerators

The Second International Workshop on New Frontiers in High-performance and Hardware-aware Computing (HipHaC’11) is to be held in conjunction with the 17th IEEE International Symposium on High-Performance Computer Architecture (HPCA-17), colocated with 16th ACM SIGPLAN Annual Symposium on Principles and Practice of Parallel Programming (PPoPP 2011), February 13, 2011, San Antonio, Texas, USA.

This workshop aims at combining new aspects of parallel, heterogeneous, and reconfigurable microprocessor technologies with concepts of high-performance computing and, particularly, numerical solution methods. Topics of interest for workshop submissions include (but are not limited to): Read the rest of this entry »

In this workshop hosted by iVEC and the University of Western Australia on August 19th, you will learn about CUDA, the Fermi architecture, and Tesla GPU Computing products. You will learn about the basics of programming GPUs using CUDA C and C++, the variety of available computational libraries for CUDA, tools for profiling and debugging CUDA applications, and approaches for optimizing CUDA parallel applications. You will also learn about CUDA-enabled desktop, workstation, and cluster computing solutions provided by Xenon Systems. The workshop will also include presentations on some of the ways these technologies are being used by researchers in Western Australia.  Full details including speakers and agenda here (PDF).

eResearch SA, XENON Systems and NVIDIA invite you to attend a free workshop on GPU computing with CUDA. The workshop will be held at 1:00PM on Tuesday 10 August 2010 at Mawson Lakes, in the Mawson Centre Lecture Theatre MC1-02.
