DESCRIPTION:Andrew Richards\, Founder and CEO of Codeplay Software Ltd. wi
 ll give an overview of the multitude of different GPGPU programming standa
 rds being produced\; the reason so many standards are useful\; and what th
 e challenges and opportunties are in defining GPGPU software platforms. Th
 is will give an overview of how to build your own GPGPU models as well as 
 how these models can be used to achieve dramatic new levels of performance
 . A particular emphasis will be on the range of different GPGPU platforms 
 being produced\, from the largest Supercomputers\, to the latest Smartphon
 es.\n\nAndrew Richards is CEO of Codeplay\, chair of the OpenCL-HLM workin
 g group defining a C++ programming model for OpenCL and chair of the HSA S
 ystem Runtime working group (defining a runtime system for the Heterogenou
 s Systems Architecture standard - "HSA"). Codeplay builds GPGPU compiler s
 ystems for semiconductor companies and have been working in the area of GP
 GPU compilers for over a decade.\n\nHeld in association with "Cambridge Ga
