Abstract

Andrew Richards, Founder and CEO of Codeplay Software Ltd. will give an overview of the multitude of different GPGPU programming standards being produced; the reason so many standards are useful; and what the challenges and opportunties are in defining GPGPU software platforms. This will give an overview of how to build your own GPGPU models as well as how these models can be used to achieve dramatic new levels of performance. A particular emphasis will be on the range of different GPGPU platforms being produced, from the largest Supercomputers, to the latest Smartphones.
