---++Applications for GPU's in Astronomy and Astrophysics This informal mini-workshop will explore the potential application of a new generation of GPU-based computing architectures to several topical areas of astronomy and astrophysics. Discussions will be free-form and new ideas and interchange are welcome. A particular goal is the identification of specific areas of collaboration between ISAAC and Cahill researchers, in fulfillment of ISAAC's NSF-funded charge to support astronomical research in the US community. Date: Thursday, September 30, 2010<br> Time: 9:30am Kickoff<br> Location: Caltech, Cahill room 126<br> *Participation* (modify as appropriate) |*Attending*: R. Dekany (COO), J. Milburn (COO), H. Shukla (ISAAC/LBL), T. Truong (JPL) | |*Call-in*: | Call-in: 866-675-1191 x8203140<br> Polycom IP: 131.215.133.38 (by request only - contact R. Dekany) *Links* * [[http://iccs.lbl.gov/research/isaac/index.html][ISAAC Home Page]] *Agenda* * 9:30a Introduction / Overview of ISAAC - Hemant Shukla * 10:00a IFS data cube extraction * COO currently has three different IFS instruments that have each rolled their own solution. Is there room for GPU to simplify, speed this process? * 11:00a Data pipelines for wide-field surveys * We're operating one large pipeline (PTF) and looking toward the next (PTF2); issues and challenges? * Noon Lunch at the Atheneum * 1:00p GPU's for AO RTC's * We're implementing one high-speed system (PALM-3000); ISAAC collaboration in advanced algorithms and upgraded hardware solutions? * 2:00p Wave-optics simulations * We operate several optics simulation environments, increasingly beneficial for instrumentation and PSF characterization for photometry and astrometry; room for collaboration? *Minutes* *Actions*
