SIGGRAPH and OpenCL

SIGGRAPH - Greg will present highlights from July's SIGGRAPH 2013 conference.

OPENCL - AJ will outline the OpenCL programming model and philosophy, along with the potential impact of OpenCL 2.0. He will also discuss his vision for the future of OpenCL, and outline his proposed amendments to the OpenCL specification.

OpenCL is a standard for heterogeneous programming, with implementations provided by nVIDIA, AMD, Intel, Apple, Altera, and many others. An OpenCL application can portably target multi-core CPUs, GPUs, and compute clusters. Behind the OpenCL API is a programming model and unspoken philosophy, which provide a framework for all OpenCL applications.
