[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Processing Unit (GPGPU) has superseded high-performance CPU in several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. Also, GPGPUs have

been considered as a natural alternative to fulfill the computing

needs for Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning applications.

Recent developments have shown intensive research activity in these

fields.

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 as well as to share new ideas

from the research area of Artificial Intelligence.

The GCA workshop seeks for high-quality papers on various topics,

including but not limited to:

* GPU computing

- 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

* Artificial intelligence

- Artificial neural networks

- Big data analytics

- Data mining

- Deep learning

- Experts systems

- Fuzzy logic

- Machine learning

- Natural language processing

- Computer vision

- Reinforcement learning

[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'18 main conference and

Workshops, is planned. Please see Special Issue for the details.
