Launch Workshop, Nov. 12, 2009

Boston University Center for Computational Science

3 Cummington St (room prb595)   >> Directions

This was the first in a series of workshops on GPU computing in science, in connection to our NSF-funded project “Experimental GPU cluster for fundamental physics”.

The workshops for this project entail two aspects—research symposia, and educational activities.  The research symposia will include:

1. ‣Contributions by researchers that are using or experimenting with GPU computing for their science applications, and
   

2. ‣presentations by computational scientists involved in “challenge applications” who are curious about GPUs and who feel that their applications may benefit from the hardware acceleration.
   

We are aiming to offer answers to the question:
“Where does this take us in scientific computing?”

Educational activities related to this project will include tutorials on programming for GPUs using the CUDA environment, aimed at graduate students, workshops on the optimization workflow required to reformulate algorithms to take advantage of the architecture, and lectures on specific tools.

This is a very low-traffic list, used only to disseminate future workshops, announce preprints (you can post announcements, too), and Boston-area GPU computing news:
