National Center for High Performance Computing
Magnificent improvements on computation power, memory and data transfer technologies made the computational scienses and engineering revolutionary grow. In most application domains, high grade results could be achieved by using only computation. A few of the research fields are using computation are climate researchs, earth science, nano-technologies, computational chemistry, high energy physics, computational fluid mechanics, life sciences etc.
The main goals of the National Center for High Performance Computing are to build awareness regarding to computational sciences and engineering in Turkey and to make ready a computational infra-structure for scientific researches and R&D services.
National Center for High Performance Computing Project started in 2004 with the support of DPT [Devlet Planlama Teskilati(Prime Ministry State Planning Organization)].
Three different user groups are targeted in our HPC Center:
- Scientific researchers that are made in universities and public sector’s research departments,
- R&D departments of industrial companies that need computational resources for their services,
- The projects of international research and application.
In November 2006, the first phase of the server system is deployed in its temporary location in Istanbul Technical University Ayazaga Campus. Deployment process is finished in January 2007 and it was opened for users.
The second phase of the server system, disk and tape based storage system and virtual reality laboratuaries will be in use after the permanent building is finished.

GPU Technology Conference
| September 30-October 2, 2009 – The Fairmont Hotel, San Jose, California |  |
The GPU Developers Summit is designed to help developers of consumer, professional, and HPC applications to harness the massively parallel processing power of the GPU. Experts from a broad range of industries will share insights and updates on state of the art techniques in GPU Computing, media processing, advanced visualization and related areas. Presentations will cover a wide range of topics using industry standard languages such as C/C++ with CUDA extensions and Fortran, GPU Computing APIs such as DirectX Compute and OpenCL™ on the CUDA Architecture, graphics API’s such as Direct3D and OpenGL and powerful libraries and middleware.
Topic clusters, subject to change, will cover both computation and graphics, spanning across a broad range of industries and interests, in research and commercial applications, such as

Sessions topics, along with a full conference catalog, will be published in the coming weeks. Stay up-to-date by subscribing to our email updates.
If you are interested in submitting a proposal for tutorials, sessions, panels, birds of a feather, posters, or roundtables, please see our Call for Submissions page.
Maximize Your Conference Experience with Pre-Event Tutorials and Webinars
Take advantage of our pre-conference tutorials and webinars to get up to speed on programming languages and APIs for the GPU. Doing so prior to the event will help you maximize your time during the advanced technical sessions and discussions. Pre-conference tutorials will be held before the keynotes on Wednesday, September 30 (please see schedule for details). Additionally, there are on-going webinars and other archived resources on NVIDIA.com and CUDA Zone.

ISC 2009 CUDA/OpenCL Tutorial Slides Posted
A tutorial on High Performance Computing with CUDA was held at the International Conference on Supercomputing in Hamburg on Monday, June 22nd 2009. The tutorial included an introduction to the CUDA programming model and C for CUDA, along with details on the CUDA Toolkit, Libraries, and optimization. The tutorial also provided an introduction to OpenCL, and finished with a case study on Computational Fluid Dynamics by Dr. Graham Pullan from Cambridge University. Slides from the tutorial are now posted here on GPGPU.org.
