[comp.parallel] Eurographics Workshop on Graphics Hardware

fons@uunet.uu.net (Fons Kuijk) (04/21/88)

                Third Eurographics Workshop

                    on Graphics Hardware


                FINAL CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS

             Nice - France 11-12 September 1988



Aims/Scope: Graphics hardware designers today have  lots  of
different  options  for  system  design  as  offered by ASIC
design tools and powerful general purpose  modules.  On  the
one hand, silicon compilers offer the short turn-around time
of ASIC design and allow for an increased  circuit  complex-
ity.  On the other hand, general purpose hardware, as avail-
able today, offers economically  state-of-the-art  technolo-
gies and can be used to obtain ``cheap'' parallel systems.

The aim of the workshop is to bring together leading workers
in  the  field of graphics hardware design, to present their
work and to discuss alternative design options.

Contributions are invited  with  respect  to  the  following
areas:

   * architectures & interaction
   * architectures & algorithmic aspects
   * innovative custom hardware
   * innovative use of general purpose hardware
   * VLSI design strategy

To be accepted, authors are  requested  to  send  preferably
extended  abstracts (up to 6 pages) to one of the below men-
tioned addresses.  Abstracts submitted  after  the  deadline
will still be considered, but will have a lower priority for
inclusion in the programme.
