Pitfalls and
Best Practices for Machine Learning using GPGPU Programming (Our Latest
Revelations)
With the idea being that we discuss surprises we discovered in using APIs or hardware that we think others in the field could benefit from (rather than make the same mistakes we did). |

CIGPU 2011 was the fourth workshop on the use of GPUs, games consoles and other consumer hardware for evolutionary algorithms and other computational intelligence techniques.
Due to its speed, price, and availability, there is increasing interest in using mass consumer market commodity hardware for engineering and scientific applications. Mostly this has concentrated upon graphics hardware, particularly GPUs, due to their ability to offer teraflop performance on a desktop using a restricted form of parallel computing. There is also increasing interest in using the computing power of game consoles such as the Xbox, Playstation and Cell processor, and portable entertainment and/or cellular phone mobile devices for research and applications.
Submissions are invited in (but not limited to) the following areas:
Simon Poulding Juan Lanchares Davila J Ignacio Hidalgo Tien-Tsin Wong Malcolm Heywood
The workshop was held in conjunction with the tutorial "Accelerating Evolutionary Computation with Graphics Processing Units".
There was also a GECCO 2011 competition on GPUs for Genetic and Evolutionary Computation.
