Dear Colleague,<br>
<br>
A brief update on the events at DSFD 2011:<br>
<br>
Graphics Processors (GPUs) have recently become a viable alternative
for high performance computing. At recent conferences we have seen an
increase in presentations that utilized this new and exciting
technology sometimes reporting up to a 100 times speed up over serial
programs. We are excited to be able to announce the <strong>NVIDIA
Best Program Award</strong> which will be presented at the conference.
<br>
<br>
We invite submissions of parallel CUDA programs for simulation methods
related to this conference. Of these submissions we select a best
program and the winner will receive a NVIDIA Tesla C2070. For details
see <a href="http://dsfd.org">dsfd.org</a>.<br>
<br>
Best regards<br>
<br>
Alexander Wagner<br>
