The Need for Speed Seminar Series - Keynote by NVIDIA
The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign is launching a 13-week seminar series that will focus on emerging applications for parallel computing. The Need for Speed Seminar Series will feature world-class applications experts and researchers who will discuss what increased computing performance means for their fields. The series will bring together hardware engineers and software developers who require parallel processing to create faster and superior applications. Speakers will help forecast breakthroughs enabled by the rapid advances in computing performance per dollar, performance per watt, or storage capacity provided by Moore's Law.
David Kirk, NVIDIA Fellow, will kick off the series with a special keynote on January 28. Following that, the Need for Speed series will be held at 4pm CT every Wednesday until April 29 at the UI's Coordinated Science Laboratory. Seminars will also stream live over the internet and speakers will take questions from both in-house and online audience members.
