In the past few years, multi-core systems have been utilized to accelerate the research domains including: image processing, molecular dynamics, astrophysics, financial simulation, computer tomography, quantum chemistry, bioinformatics and many others. Especially, General Purpose Graphic Process Units (GPGPUs) becomes popular to lot of scientific computing domains. Leveraging computing power of GPGPUs, the computational cost of many applications is able to significantly be decreased. In many of these applications, a speedup of 20-100X has been realized.

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, multi-core system, optimization techniques, parallel algorithm design, applications, bioinformatics and all kinds of successful applications.
