CALL FOR PAPERS

2nd International Workshop on GPUs and Scientific Applications (GPUScA 2011)

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 We solicit unpublished papers about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.

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.
