Khronos Group Returns to SIGGRAPH ASIA for the Fourth Time!
Expo Hours are:
- Tuesday, 13 December 09:30 - 18:00 | Hall 3G
- Wednesday, 14 December 09:30 - 18:00 | Hall 3G
- Thursday, 15 December 09:30 - 17:00 | Hall 3G
You are invited to exciting Hong Kong to see numerous Khronos members demonstrate on the "Khronos Pavilion" and teach about Khronos APIs at "Developer University"
Following our successful participation at SIGGRAPH Asia 2010 in Seoul Korea, the Khronos Group is excited to demonstrate and educate about Khronos APIs at SIGGRAPH Asia 2011 in Hong Kong. This year we will offer many Khronos "DevU" educational sessions co-located with SIGGRAPH Asia educational sessions, and Khronos members will join together in numerous demonstration suites to offer a large number of exciting demos on the SIGGRAPH trade show floor. SIGGRAPH Asia Hong Kong is an ideal opportunity for international standards bodies such as Khronos to effectively outreach to the Asian graphics community and keep the information flowing. We look forward to seeing you there!
Khronos DevU
Date: December 14 & 15
Time: 10am - 5pm
Location: Hong Kong Convention & Exhibition Centre
Room: Room S228
URL: Dec 14 / Dec 15
This DevU is open to all SIGGRAPH ASIA attendees at no additional cost.
For the last eleven years, Khronos technology experts have taught developers and members of the press about the Khronos standards ecosystem. Khronos standards are fundamental to many of the technologies you will see on display at SIGGRAPH Asia. If you manufacture or develop multimedia content for games, DCC, CAD or mobile devices, you should attend Khronos Group's DevU (Developer University) to learn about these new industry standards for royalty-free multimedia development:
- Applications driving next-generation handset requirements
- Opportunities opened up by innovation and standardization in graphics and mobile gaming
- Technological advances in multimedia handset technology

Courses by Khronos Members
Modern OpenGL Programming
Monday 12 December | 09:00-18:00 | Room S224 + S225 | Link to main event page
Ed Angel: Professor Emeritus of Computer Science at the University of New Mexico and the Founding Director of the Art, Research, Technology and Science Laboratory.
Dave Shreiner: involved in presenting OpenGL related courses at SIGGRAPH since 1998.
Developing Visual Interfaces for Mobile Devices
Monday 12 December | 14:15-18:00 | Room S222 | Link to main event page
The popularity of mobile interfaces and application development is increasing along with the rapid expansion of the mobile electronics market and its migration from text-based applications to various multimedia applications. Real-time graphics and web applications are becoming one of the most attractive applications in mobile terminals due to their benefits for enterprise, gaming, and social media.
Of special interest is the section on Khronos APIs:
Session 2: 16:15-18:00
16:40-17:45 Kari Pulli: 3D graphics and cameras
16:40-16:50 OpenGL ES 1.1
16:50-17:00 OpenGL ES 2.0
17:00-17:15 WebGLBenjamin Watson: Associate Professor of Computer Science at North Carolina State University. He earned his doctorate at the Graphics, Visualization and Usability Center of the Georgia Institute of Technology.
Vidya Setlur: Principal research scientist at Nokia Research Center. Vidya has taught mobile courses at conferences as well as at universities such as Carnegie Mellon University and San Jose State University. She earned her doctorate in Computer Graphics at Northwestern University.
Kari Pulli has worked for 20 years on visual computing, and 12 years on mobile visual computing. Since April 2011, he has been the Senior Director of Research at Nvidia, following an appointment as a Nokia Fellow at Nokia Research Center.

Introduction to OpenCL
Tuesday, 13 December 09:00 - 10:45 | Convention Hall C | Link to main event page
The rapidly changing capabilities of modern Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) mean that developers need to understand how to combine parallel-programming techniques with the traditional interactive rendering pipeline exposed by OpenGL and Direct3D. This course demonstrates how to combine traditional rendering Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) with advanced parallel computation using OpenCL (Open Computing Language), a cross-platform API for programming parallel systems such as GPUs. The course presenters are experts on general-purpose GPU computation and advanced rendering from academia and industry, and have presented papers and tutorials on the topic at SIGGRAPH, Graphics Hardware, Supercomputing, and elsewhere. This tutorial provides an introduction to the OpenCL API, and presents multiple example application.
Justin Hensley: Senior Member of Technical Staff in AMD's Office of the CTO.
Derek Gerstmann: research fellow at the University of Western Australia.
Jason Yang: Senior Member of Technical Staff in AMD Inc.'s Office of the CTO.
OpenCL by Example - Advanced Topics
Tuesday 13 December | 14:15-18:00 | Room S222 | Link to main event page
This course provides an introduction to parallel-programming architectures and environments for interactive graphics. It also demonstrates how to combine traditional rendering Application Programming Interface (API) with advanced parallel computation. There are strong indications that the future of interactive graphics involves a more flexible programming model than today's OpenGL/Direct3D pipelines.
Justin Hensley: Senior Member of Technical Staff in AMD's Office of the CTO.
Derek Gerstmann: research fellow at the University of Western Australia.
Jason Yang: Senior Member of Technical Staff in AMD Inc.'s Office of the CTO.
