GPU Technology Conference

GPU Technology Conference (GTC) advances global awareness of GPU computing and visualization and their importance to the future of science and innovation. Through world-class education, including hundreds of hours of technical sessions, tutorials, panel discussions, and moderated roundtables, GTC brings together thought leaders from a wide range of fields.

WHO ATTENDS?

GTC is uniformly regarded as an essential resource for scientists, engineers, researchers, and developers who rely on GPUs to tackle enormous computational challenges.

Attendees at GTC arrive from over 40 countries and comprise virtually every profession involved in HPC. In 2010, 27% were developers, 29% were academics/researchers, and 13% were c-suite executives.

Attendees come from major industry verticals such as Finance, Government, Life Sciences, Energy, Computer Software Development, Manufacturing, as well as Academia.

WHY ATTEND?

GTC is the must-attend event for those working on the most complex computational problems and those interested in learning about parallel programming to achieve significantly faster applications.

During four days of rich, immersive learning, GTC provides:

1. 1. Exceptional scientific content showcasing the transformational impact of GPUs
2. 2. Astonishing demos featuring remarkable commercial applications
3. 3. Unrestricted access to the best minds in parallel computing
4. 4. Exposure to the most innovative products and solutions on the market
5. 5. Valuable opportunities for productive collaboration and peer networking

WHAT THEY'RE SAYING ABOUT GTC

"Don't kid yourself. GPUs are a game-changer." said Frank Chambers, a GTC conference attendee shopping for GPUs for his finite element analysis work. "What we are seeing here is like going from propellers to jet engines."

If there's one take away from this week's NVIDIA GPU Technology Conference (GTC), it's that GPU computing has grown up. Having been to last year's event, it's amazing to see how many more academic researchers and companies are taking the technology seriously in 2010.

I was truly amazed by the quality of the speakers and the presentations - and the strong focus on applications. The information gathered at this event was enlightening and useful. Absolutely one of the best - and most important conferences in the technology and advanced computing sector.
- Mike Bernhardt, CEO & Sr. Investigative Journalist, The Exascale Report

After last year, I brought a colleague this year. I hope to have at least two of us attending next year. The tuning strategy sessions and algorithm sessions were excellent, and being able to talk with principle NVIDIA engineers was great. I found the conference very worthwhile.

This is the best organized and executed conference I attend. Every year I've made a lot of important contacts for new directions for my research. Overall, a great job, and I look forward to next year!
– Peter Lu, Post-Doctoral Research Fellow, Harvard University

Overall, GTC2010 was a great experience - I heard so many interesting & useful talks, got new insights & directions for my work, met amazing people and had a really good time!
– Ana Balevic, Researcher/PhD Student, Leiden University

From what I've been telling everyone and showing them the conference guide, many of my colleagues wished they had gone with me.
