The fifth annual GPGPU Workshop will be held in London this March alongside ASPLOS 17, and is already accepting submissions of papers and abstractions.
The goal of this workshop is to provide a forum to discuss new and emerging general-purpose purpose programming environments and platforms, as well as evaluate applications that have been able to harness the horsepower provided by these platforms. This year’s work is particularly interested on new heterogeneous GPU platforms.
The program committee has all the usual players (NVidia, AMD, Microsoft) and good university showings (MIT, Iowa State, Imperial College, etc), along with a few surprises like JP Morgan Chase. The potential of GPU’s for large-scale statistical modeling (like in Finance & Stockmarkets) is of big interest for large financial houses, and an area we can expect to see significant financial influence to weigh in.
