A Workshop on
GPU as a computational resource
November 10-11, 2004, Oslo, Norway
Introduction:
As a part of the Strategic Institute Progamme
"Graphics cards as a high-end computational resource",
http://www.math.sintef.no/gpu/
a two-day's workshop will be arranged on November 10-11. The Strategic
Institute Programme runs from 2004 - 2007, is coordinated by SINTEF
IKT, and is funded by The Research Council of Norway.
- The first day (Nov. 10) we will concentrate on the abilities
of the GPU
- The second day (Nov. 11) is devoted to aspects of GPU-programming
Keynote speaker
In addition to local speakers from the project
group at SINTEF IKT, we are pleased to announce Robert Strzodka
as the main speaker. Strzodka is a member of the CAESAR - Centre
of Advance European Studies and Research, in Bonn, Germany (http://www.caesar.de).
He has solid experience with the GPU as a computational resource
within image processing and computer vision.
Participants
Here
