CALL FOR PAPERS

 

Context

GPUs are cost-effective platforms for computational intensive applications providing tremendous peak performance. However, it is a major challenge to deliver the intrinsic performance of such architectures to end applications. The goal of this workshop is to bring together GPU experts with computational science experts. The workshop addresses programming approaches (stream programming) and key techniques to leverage the computing power of GPUs. Experiences gained while adapting scientific codes to run efficiently on such architectures are welcome. We solicit unpublished papers about research challenges and advances addressing porting of scientific codes and algorithms to GPU platforms.

 
 

Topics of Interest:

The topics of the workshop include but are not limited to:
  • Scientific applications optimized for GPUs
  • Programming approaches for multicore CPUs and GPUs
  • Stream computing
  • Programming environments for GPUs
  • Benchmarking/measurements for GPUs
  • GPU architectures
  • OpenCL and CUDA

Submission Information

The papers should be prepared using the ACM SIG Proceedings format, and should be no longer than 8 pages. Submitted papers will be carefully evaluated based on originality, significance to workshop topics, technical soundness, and presentation quality.

The reviewing process will include 3 reviews for each submission and will be double-blind. Hence, submissions must not reveal the authors' identities, and you should refer to your own previous work in the third person.

Submit your paper via the submission site.

At least one of the authors must register and attend the workshop to present the work in order that the accepted paper will be put into the proceedings. Accepted papers will be included in preliminary workshop proceedings and distributed at the workshop.

Extended versions of the best papers will be published in the International Journal of Computational Science and Engineering (IJCSE) as part of the Special Issue on: GPUs and Accelerators for Scientific Applications.

 

Important Dates

  • Submission: June 28, 2011 July 9, 2011 (extended deadline)
  • Notification: August 9, 2011
  • Final version of the paper: August 30, 2011
  • Workshop: October 10, 2011
