************************************************************************
Journal Special Issues

Distinguished selected papers accepted and presented in FGC 2010, after further 
extension and revisions, will be published in special issues of the following 
prestigious SCI-Indexed Journals:
- Journal of Supercomputing ?Springer
- Journal of Computer and System Sciences ?Elsevier
- Concurrency and Computation: Practice and Experience - John Wiley & Sons

Scope

We are undergoing a new revolution on parallel processor technologies, especially 
the Graphic Processing Units. GPUs have become widely used nowadays to accelerate 
a broad range of applications, including computational finance, numerical computing, 
image/video processing, engineering simulations, quantum chemistry, just to name a 
few. 

The goal of this workshop is to provide a forum for researchers and practitioners 
to discuss and share their research and development experiences and outputs on the 
massively parallel GPU platforms, software development tools, optimization techniques, 
parallel algorithm design, and all kinds of successful applications. We solicit 
original and previously unpublished papers addressing research challenges and advances 
towards the design, implementation and evaluation of massively parallel GPU computing. 
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

- Applications on GPU Computing
- Performance Modeling and Benchmarking
- Processor Architectures
- Programming Languages and Compilers
- Middleware and Libraries
- GPU Clusters
- Self-configuration and Fault-tolerance

Paper Submission

Authors are invited to submit manuscripts reporting original unpublished research 
and recent developments in the topics related to the workshop. The length of the 
papers should not exceed 6 pages + 2 pages for overlength charges (IEEE Computer 
Society Proceedings Manuscripts style: two columns, single-spaced), including figures 
and references, using 10 fonts, and number each page. All papers will be peer reviewed 
and the comments will be provided to the authors. The accepted papers will be published 
together with those of other workshops by the IEEE Computer Society Press.
