Abstract
The current application of Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) for parallel computing tasks has shown excellent results in terms of speed-ups when compared against Central Processing Unit (CPU) processors. Rapid growth of data in terabytes & petabytes represents a huge challenge for multi-core & many-core based solution R&D. This talk describes these challenges and ongoing work in architecture design, software, and algorithms R&D to meet them.

Distinguished Speakers:

Dr. Simon Chong-Wee See, Chief Solution Architect, NVIDIA Corporation
Dr Simon See is currently the director and chief architect of NVIDIA Asia Pacific Professional Solution Group. He is also an adjunct professor at the Shanghai Jiaotong University in China and King-Mong Kung Technical University in Thailand. In addition, Dr. Simon is the chief scientific advisor to BGI (China). Dr Simon graduated from the University of Salford with a Doctorate’s degree in applied mathematics/engineering. Prior to NVIDIA, he worked at DSO National Lab, IBM, SGI and Sun Microsystems. His research interest includes computer architecture and systems, simulation and applied mathematics. He has published over 70 peer reviewed papers.

Dr. Ettikan K. K., Principal Engineer, MIMOS Berhad Malaysia.
