3rd UK GPU Computing Conference
The UK GPU Computing Conference is an informal day of talks aiming to span the whole landscape of accelerated computing and heterogeneous manycore computing. Topics of interest include high-performance computing, embedded and mobile systems, computational science, finance, computer vision and beyond. The goal of the event is to build the UK community of expertise, both industrial and academic.
