With GPU Technology Conference (GTC)<\/a> only 11 weeks away, NVIDIA has assembled a lineup of presenters that runs the gamut from Harvard\u2019s Hanspeter Pfister, who\u2019s a leading authority on scientific computing, to Stanford\u2019s Pat Hanrahan, who helped pioneer computer graphics.<\/p>\n A significant part of GTC\u2019s objective is to help connect the GPU computing community to visionaries like these. To expand on this, NVIDIA is kicking off a pre-conference Live Chat series on the NVIDIA blog <\/a>where you can interact directly with GTC speakers before the GTC even starts.<\/p>\n Live Chat guests will of course be live on the NVIDIA blog ready to take your questions. These chats will be about a half hour long and are open to anyone who wants to join in. It’s a great opportunity to spend virtual one-on-one time with GPU scientists, researchers and key developers you would not normally meet in person. It\u2019s a great opportunity, especially for those who can\u2019t make it to GTC in September.<\/p>\n NVIDIA’s first Live Chat kicks off July 13th at 11 AM PDT. You can even set a reminder for yourself using this widget<\/a>. Their first guest will be Ian Buck, Software Director of GPU Computing at NVIDIA and the inventor of Brook project and CUDA<\/a> .\u00a0 Check out his presentation<\/a> at GTC 2009.\u00a0 During his Live Chat, Ian will give a preview of his GTC talk and will be taking questions about the future of CUDA and GPU computing.<\/p>\n I got to meet Ian Buck at last<\/a> year’s<\/a> GTC<\/a> and I am hoping that ABT can again cover this year’s upcoming event, September 20-23 in San Jose, California.<\/p>\n Mark Poppin Please join us in our Forums<\/a><\/p>\n Become a Fan on Facebook<\/a><\/p>\n Follow us on Twitter<\/a><\/p>\n For the latest updates from ABT, please join our RSS News Feed<\/a><\/p>\n Join our Distributed Computing teams<\/p>\n
