The UK Many-Core developer conference 2013 conference is now in its fifth year, with previous conferences having been held at Bristol, Imperial College, Cambridge and Oxford.
Topics covered by the conference include high-performance computing on accelerators such as GPUs, FPGAs and the Xeon Phi, as well as embedded and mobile parallel systems. Application areas include computational science and engineering, finance, computer vision and beyond. The goal of the event is to strengthen the UK's expertise in many-core computing, in both industry and academia.
Previous events at Bristol, Imperial College, Cambridge and Oxford attracted around 100 participants and proved to be invaluable opportunities to meet colleagues and swap experiences.
In addition to the conference on Dec 16th, the following day there will be CUDA "masterclass" sessions to address the interests of CUDA developers. The registration process includes an opportunity to indicate interest in any (or all!) of the following:
- profiling
- Nsight IDE
- use of new Kepler features such as shuffle
- tips for better performance
- use of NVIDIA libraries
- OpenACC as an alternative to CUDA
- open session addressing user questions
The conference is again supported by the EPSRC-funded CCP on Algorithms and Software for Emerging Architecture: ASEArch CCP.
