[Special announcement regarding COVID-19 situation]
 - We are working with the possibility of having a
physical/hybrid/virtual meeting.
 - Regardless of physical/hybrid/virtual meeting, we will provide the
opportunity to present the paper online for those not able to travel
to Himeji for any reason. The details of online presentation will be
informed later.
 - The review process will be conducted as in previous editions.
 - Regardless of physical/hybrid/virtual meeting, all accepted papers
will be published on IEEE CPS as in previous years.


[Introduction]
Built for massive parallelism, General Purpose computing on Graphic
Processing Unit (GPGPU) has superseded high-performance CPU in several
important tasks, including computer graphics, physics calculations,
encryption/decryption and scientific computations. Also, GPGPUs have
been considered as a natural alternative to fulfill the computing
needs for Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning applications.
Recent developments have shown intensive research activity in these
fields.


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 as well as sharing new ideas
from the research area of Artificial Intelligence.

The GCA workshop seeks for high-quality papers on various topics,
including but not limited to:

* GPU computing
 - 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
 - Deep learning on GPUs

* Artificial intelligence
 - Artificial neural networks
 - Big data analytics
 - Data mining
 - Deep learning
 - Experts systems
 - Fuzzy logic
 - Machine learning
 - Natural language processing
 - Computer vision
 - Reinforcement learning



[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.
