AbstractAbstract
[en] The International Conference on GPUs in High-Energy Physics was held from September 10 to 12, 2014 at the University of Pisa, Italy. It represented a larger scale follow-up to a set of workshops which indicated the rising interest of the HEP community, experimentalists and theorists alike, towards the use of inexpensive and massively parallel computing devices, for very diverse purposes. The conference was organized in plenary sessions of invited and contributed talks, and poster presentations on the following topics: - GPUs in triggering applications - Low-level trigger systems based on GPUs - Use of GPUs in high-level trigger systems - GPUs in tracking and vertexing - Challenges for triggers in future HEP experiments - Reconstruction and Monte Carlo software on GPUs - Software frameworks and tools for GPU code integration - Hard real-time use of GPUs - Lattice QCD simulation - GPUs in phenomenology - GPUs for medical imaging purposes - GPUs in neutron and photon science - Massively parallel computations in HEP - Code parallelization. ''GPU computing in High-Energy Physics'' attracted 78 registrants to Pisa. The 38 oral presentations included talks on specific topics in experimental and theoretical applications of GPUs, as well as review talks on applications and technology. 5 posters were also presented, and were introduced by a short plenary oral illustration. A company exhibition was hosted on site. The conference consisted of 12 plenary sessions, together with a social program which included a banquet and guided excursions around Pisa. It was overall an enjoyable experience, offering an opportunity to share ideas and opinions, and getting updated on other participants' work in this emerging field, as well as being a valuable introduction for newcomers interested to learn more about the use of GPUs as accelerators for scientific progress on the elementary constituents of matter and energy.
