CIGPU 2011

Computational Intelligence on Consumer Games and Graphics Hardware

The fourth International workshop and tutorial on Computational Intelligence on Consumer Games and Graphics Hardware (CIGPU 2011) will be held as a workshop in the GECCO-2011 conference in Dublin 12-16 July 2011.
CIGPU 2011 is the fourth workshop on the use of GPUs, games consoles and other consumer hardware for evolutionary algorithms and other computational intelligence techniques.

Due to its speed, price, and availability, there is increasing interest in using mass consumer market commodity hardware for engineering and scientific applications. Mostly this has concentrated upon graphics hardware, particularly GPUs, due to their ability to offer teraflop performance on a desktop using a restricted form of parallel computing. There is also increasing interest in using the computing power of game consoles such as the Xbox, Playstation and Cell processor, and portable entertainment and/or cellular phone mobile devices for research and applications.

Submissions are invited in (but not limited to) the following areas:

Parallel genetic programming (GP) on GPU
Parallel genetic algorithms (GA) on GPU
Parallel evolutionary programming (EP) on GPU
Associated or hybrid computational intelligence techniques on GPU
Particle Swarm Optimisation (PSO)
Ant colony
Parallel search algorithms
Data mining
Differential Evolution on GPU
Computational Biology or Bioinformatics on GPU
Evolutionary computation on video game platforms
Evolutionary computation on mobile devices
Papers that discuss novel implementations and the practicalities of writing software for these hardware platforms are especially welcome.
GPU Tutorial and GPU Competition

The workshop will be held in conjunction with the tutorial "Accelerating Evolutionary Computation with Graphics Processing Units," and a GECCO 2011 competition on GPUs for Genetic and Evolutionary Computation.
