====================================================

[Introduction]
Built for massive parallelism, General Purpose computing on Graphic
Processing Unit (GPGPU) has superseded high-performance CPU in several
important tasks, including computer graphics, physics calculations,
encryption/decryption and scientific computations.

The goal of this workshop is to provide a forum to discuss and evaluate
emerging techniques, platforms and applications capable of harvesting the
power of current GPGPUs.

The GCA workshop seeks for high-quality papers on various topics,
including but not limited to:

* GPU applications
* Computer graphics on GPUs
* GPU compilation
* GPU programming environments
* GPU power efficiency
* GPU architectures
* GPU theoretical computing models
* GPU benchmarking/measurements
* GPU embedded systems
* Multi-GPU systems
* GPU cluster
* Heterogeneous GPU platforms
* CPU-GPU cooperation
* CUDA/OpenCL/OpenACC
* Deep learning on GPUs

[Paper format]
* Regular paper: 5-7 pages
* Poster paper: 3-4 pages

[Publication]
The conference and workshop proceedings will be published by Conference
Publishing Service and submitted to IEEE Xplore and CSDL digital libraries.
Also, they are submitted for indexing through INSPEC, EI (Compendex),
Thomson ISI, and other indexing services.

[Special Issue]
A Special Issue, on selected papers from CANDAR'17 main conference and
Workshops, is planned. Please see Special Issue for the details.
