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


Distinguished selected papers accepted and presented in FGC 2012, after further 
extension and revisions, will be published in special issues of the following 
prestigious SCI-Indexed Journals:


- Future Generation Computer Systems (Elsevier)
- Journal of Computer and System Science (Elsevier)
- Journal of Supercomputing (Springer)
- Concurrency and Computation: Practice and Experience (John Wiley & Sons)
- The Computer Journal (The British Computer Society)
- Simulation Modelling Practice and Theory (Elsevier)
- Journal of Systems Architecture (Elsevier)


Scope


We are witnessing a tremendous adoption of GPU computing in today's top supercomputers 
as well as personal supercomputers. More and more applications are being accelerated by
GPUs, including those from computational finance, numerical computing, image/video processing, 
engineering simulations, bioinformatics, weather simulations, quantum chemistry, etc.


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original and previously unpublished papers addressing research challenges and advances 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:


- Large-scale Simulations on GPUs
- Heterogeneous Computing
- Performance Modeling and Benchmarking
- Multi-core and Many-core Processor Architectures
- Parallel Programming Languages and Compilers
- Middleware and Libraries
- Parallel and Distributed Algorithms on GPU Clusters
- Self-configuration and Fault-tolerance
- Green GPU Computing
- GPU Clouds


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Authors are invited to submit manuscripts reporting original unpublished research 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, 10-point font), including figures and references. 
All papers will be peer reviewed and the comments will be provided to the authors. Once accepted, 
the paper will be included into the IEEE conference proceedings published by IEEE Computer 
Society Press (indexed by EI). At least one of the authors of any accepted paper is requested 
to register the paper.
