2nd Symposium on Accelerated Computing for Application Workflows
Are you a researcher or developer looking to speed up your scientific application? Want to use GPUs for your research but do not know where to start? SURF and the Netherlands eScience Center invite you to a one-day event focused on connecting complex scientific code and GPU acceleration technology.
- SURF Utrecht, room 2.03. Moreelsepark 48 3511 EP Utrecht, Netherlands
Why attend?
You do not need to be a GPU expert to join us. Whether you want to solve a specific performance bottleneck or simply understand what "GPU acceleration" means for the future of your research, you will find a welcoming community here. Our main goal is to bridge the gap between complex scientific formulas and the raw power of GPUs.
This symposium brings together three vital groups:
- Beginners & Researchers: People looking for accessible, user-friendly tools to make their code run faster — without making their workflow more complex.
- Domain Experts: Scientists running complex, real-world code who need faster results for their research.
- Tool Builders: Software developers creating next-generation, user-friendly tools and libraries who want user feedback and real-world test cases.
Come and learn from real-world case studies, discover how other researchers have solved their computing bottlenecks, and build a network that will help your research thrive. Join us and help shape the future of scientific computing!
Call for pitches
We are hosting a dedicated pitch session from 14:00 to 14:30.
We are looking for:
- Pitch your challenge: Tell the audience about your scientific code, your current performance bottlenecks, and what you need help accelerating.
- Pitch your tool: Give a quick overview of the software, framework or methodology you have built, and show researchers how it can simplify their GPU journey.
Submit your pitch
We warmly encourage submissions. This is an opportunity to share your work in a friendly, low-pressure environment, receive instant feedback from experts, and find potential collaborators.
You can submit your pitch directly through the registration form. We will contact you to let you know whether your pitch has been selected and provide further details.
