[Nagy-Egri Máté Ferenc <nagy-egri.mate AT wigner.mta.hu>]

The Wigner GPU-Lab of the Wigner Research Centre for Physics will again 
organize the annual

GPU Day - The Future of Many-Core Computing in Science Conference

that will be the 7th in the series. This event is dedicated to bring together 
researchers, students, developers from academics and industry to share their 
results, experience and best practices in the following fields:

- Current status and near-future of many-core hardware and software
- Many-core computing in physics and other fields of science
- Medical applications of parallel technologies
- Machine Learning, neural networks, feature recognition
- Image processing, computer vision and reconstruction
- Industrial applications of many-core computing
- Mobile and embedded parallel computing
- Emerging, alternative accelerator platforms (like FPGAs)
- Development technologies (languages, compilers)

Each year invited speakers talk about the main developments of new hardware, 
software, APIs and research directions. Contributed talks are welcome on the 
link below.

The event is FREE to attend. More details are continuously being updated on 
the web page:

Date: 22-23 June 2017
Location: Wigner Datacenter, Wigner Research Centre for Physics, Budapest 
(Konkoly-Thege Miklós str. 29-33.)

About the Venue:
The Wigner Research Centre for Physics of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences 
is one of the largest research institutes of Hungary, working together with 
international collaborations such as CERN, ESA, LIGO/VIRGO, GSI/FAIR, ESS. 
Wigner is hosting the largest off-site datacenter for CERN providing analysis 
of LHC data and much more. Wigner is committed to supporting research with IT 
solutions and collaborating with partners to accelerate science and 
development. A group of experts at the Wigner GPU Lab are dedicated toward 
exploiting massively parallel technologies and helping others take advantage 
of modern computing resources. The GPU Day is one of the events that wishes 
to help users explore and navigate the broad landscape of computing 
technologies and find the ones that are most suitable for their needs.
