Accelerating Computations
Research conference on graphics processing units, visual computing and beyond...

see http://cg.alexandra.dk/2011/11/24/accel ... nd-beyond/

On 15 December 2011 the Computer Graphics Lab at the Alexandra Institute in Aarhus will host a conference on the core aspects of accelerating computations. This research conference will be divided into a technical part called Technical Talks in the morning and a business-oriented part called Applications Talks in the afternoon.

The conference is free and you can participate either in the Technical Talks, the Applications Talks or both. Keynote speaker will be David McAllister from NVIDIA.

The Computer Graphics Lab at the Alexandra Institute is working on realising efficient computations on massive data sets by using modern many-core processors and massive data algorithms. Subsequently interactive information visualisation is crucial to analyse and understand massive data sets.
