Codeplay Stand at SIGGRAPH ASIA 2011

Codeplay’s Andrew Richards will be at SIGGRAPH Asia in Hong Kong with Uwe Dolinsky, their CTO, and Colin Riddell, one of their LLVM GPU compiler developers. If you will be at SIGGRAPH Asia, why not drop by at booth D08 and see what they are doing? Codeplay will be part of the Khronos Pavillion at the conference, along with some other specialist graphics and GPU companies. Codeplay can help with GPU compiler software, whether it’s performance optimization, correctness testing, or delivering next-gen GPU technologies such as a C++ version of OpenCL. They will even have a demonstration of their C++ to OpenCL compiler technology, called OffloadCL.

If you are interested in the LPGPU project, then they will be able to talk about it there. Also, if you are interested in jobs or academic research positions in GPU technology, they can tell you about the opportunities that exist within the LPGPU group.
