Program

Theme: The Graphical Processing Unit.

Most years, the Graphical Visionday is more or less unthemed in the sense that we cover a broad range of topics in computer graphics. This year, however, we have a strong emphasis on GPU architecture, programming, and computing. Apart from a single session, the entire day is devoted to these topics.
