GPU Technology Conference 2011 Announced

By DE Editors

NVIDIA has announced that the third annual GPU Technology Conference (GTC) will return to San Jose's McEnery Convention Center from Oct. 11-14, 2011. In addition, Los Alamos National Laboratory will co-locate its Accelerated High Performance Computing (HPC) Symposium at the conference.

Last year's GTC offered more than 280 hours of content intended primarily for computational scientists, engineers and developers who want to better understand GPU computing. Attendance at the 2010 event grew more than 50%, according to NVIDIA.

A leading U.S. national security research institution, Los Alamos National Laboratory has been hosting the Accelerated HPC Symposium as a stand-alone event with the goal of bringing together world leaders in supercomputing to share knowledge and help solve crucial technology challenges. This event will now take place during GTC 2011, and will be co-hosted by Los Alamos National Lab and NVIDIA.
