http://www.nitrc.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=2632 <p>Graphics processing units (GPUs) offer a low-cost approach to parallel high-performance computing. Neuronal simulations can be parallelized efficiently and are particularly well suited for implementation on GPUs. There is also great potential for GPU-based high-throughput analysis of neuronal data. The field is progressing at rapid pace, and has reached a point where it may strongly benefit from some kind of convergence between the different approaches.<br />To facilitate communication and foster collaboration in the field, the German INCF Node (G-Node) organizes a one-day symposium on neuronal GPU computing with an adjoint two-day developer workshop.</p> <h3>Symposium</h3> <p>Invited Speakers (preliminary):<br />Romain Brette (École Normale Supérieure, Paris)<br />Andreas Fidjeland (Imperial College, London)<br />Dan Goodman (École Normale Supérieure, Paris)<br />Thomas Nowotny (University of Sussex, Brighton-Falmer)<br />Pierre Yger (Imperial College, London)<br /><br />Applications are encouraged for talks at the symposium. Topics may cover<br />one or more of the following:<br />- GPU-based neuronal simulation: development, applications, user reports<br />- GPU-based data analysis: software and use-cases<br />- Reports on GPU-powered neuronal research<br />- Comparison of GPU-based neuronal applications with other high-throughput technologies (e.g. clusters, neuromorphic hardware)</p> <p>Participation in the symposium is free, but registration is required.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3>Developer workshop</h3> <p>We encourage applications for participation in the developer workshop. The workshop's aim is to bring together developers of GPU-based applications for neuroscience and to enable exchange of ideas, knowledge, and code. Enthusiastic users of GPU-based tools with programming skills are also warmly invited. The number of participants in the workshop is limited to 20.<br />Invited symposium speakers will also be present at the developer workshop.</p> <h3>Application and registration:</h3> <p>To apply for a presentation slot at the symposium, send us an abstract (approx. 500 words) of your presentation. A note with your name and affiliation is sufficient if you only want to register for the symposium. To apply for the developer workshop, please send a us a short letter of motivation stating your background, why you want to participate, and what you could contribute to the workshop.</p> <h3>Contact:</h3> <p>Direct your applications, registrations and any questions to gpu-computing@g-node.org .<br />Deadline for application: 28 Feb 2012<br />Workshop website: https://portal.g-node.org/gpu-workshop-2012/<br />Current information about speakers will be posted there.</p> <h3>Dates:</h3> <p>April 11, 2012 (Symposium)<br />April 12-13, 2012 (Developer Workshop)</p> <h3>Venue:</h3> <p>LMU Biocenter<br />Großhaderner Str. 2<br />82152 Planegg-Martinsried<br /><br />Hope to see you in Munich in April!<br /><br />The organizers<br />Michael Schmuker, Freie Universität Berlin &amp; BCCN Berlin<br />Christian Kellner and Thomas Wachtler, G-Node, LMU München<br /><br /></p> en-us Copyright 2000-2026 NITRC OSI Tue, 14 Apr 2026 22:44:00 GMT http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss NITRC RSS generator
