their applications using GPUs. These events pair participants with dedicated mentors experienced in GPU programming and development. Representing distinguished scholars and preeminent institutions from around the world, the teams of mentors and attendees work
together to realize performance gains and speedups by taking advantage of parallel programming on GPUs.</span><span style="font-size:8.5pt; font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif"></span></p>
