The First International Workshop on GPU Computing and Applications (GCA)
http://is-candar.org/GCA16/

to be held in conjunction with

The Fourth International Symposium on Computing and Networking
(CANDAR'16), Hiroshima, Japan, November 22-25, 2016

====================================================

[Introduction]
Built for massive parallelism, General Purpose computing on Graphic
Processing Unit (GPGPU) has superseded
high-performance CPU in a number of important tasks, including computer
graphics, physics calculations,
encryption/decryption and scientific computations.

The goal of this workshop is to provide a forum to discuss and evaluate
emerging techniques,
platforms and applications capable of harvesting the power of current GPGPUs.

The GCA workshop seeks for high-quality papers on a number of topics,
including but not limited to:
* GPU applications
* Computer graphics on GPUs
* GPU compilation
* GPU programming environments
* GPU power efficiency
* GPU architectures
* GPU theoretical computing models
* GPU benchmarking/measurements
* GPU embedded systems
* Multi-GPU systems
* GPU cluster
* Heterogeneous GPU platforms
* CPU-GPU cooperation
* CUDA/OpenCL/OpenACC

[Paper format]
* Regular paper: 5-7 pages
* Poster paper: 3-4 pages

[Publication]
The conference and workshop proceedings will be published by Conference
Publishing Service and submitted to IEEE Xplore and CSDL digital
libraries.
Also they are submitted for indexing through INSPEC, EI (Compendex),
Thomson ISI, and other indexing services.

[Special Issue]
A Special Issue on selected papers from CANDAR'16 main conference and
workshops is planned. Please see Special Issue for the details.
