 Talk Deep Learning with GPUs --- Technologies from NVIDIA

 Abstract GPUs are invented by NVIDIA and were traditionally used for graphic rendering. With the introduction of CUDA (Compute Unified Device Architecture), GPUs have shown great potential in high performance computing area and widely used by researchers in different domains. Recent years, great breakthroughs have been made in deep learning research. Since the training of deep neural network parameters normally consumes much computation power, more and more researchers start to use GPUs to accelerate their deep learning study. Besides providing the accelerator hardware, NVIDIA also provides CUDA development tools, performance analysis tools and lots of math libraries. Specially, cuDNN library is customized for deep neural network computation. All these efforts are making the Deep learning R&D easier and more efficient, with NVIDIA GPUs.

 Bio Dr. Junjie Lai received his bachelor and master degrees from Tsinghua University and received his PhD degree from INRIA (National Institute for Research in Computer Science and Control) France. His PhD research focused on GPU architecture study, performance analysis and optimization. Dr. Lai is currently the technical manager of the HPC computing team of NVIDIA China. His primary focus is Deep Learning / Machine Learning, Computer Vision, Finance, etc. Besides leading the team, he is collaborating with developers from many well-known internet companies, including BAT (Baidu, Alibaba, Tencent), to better accelerate their Deep Learning applications with NVIDIA GPUs.

 Talk VR Status and Trend in Schlumberger

 Abstract In this talk I will cover what’s special on 3D visualization for oil and gas industry, current technology stacks and challenges, VR technologies we had tried and the lessons learned at Schlumberger, and future trends.
 Bio Li Qingrui, a software architect and graphics specialist at Schlumberger, graduated from University of Science and Technology of China. He have been working on various interpretation and visualization software solutions, e.g. semi-automatic huge seismic volume data interpretation, high resolution borehole measurement semi-automatic interpretation and visualization, hydraulic fracture monitoring (for shale), as well as innovation projects like VR solution, etc.

 Talk VR key market trends and Goertek positioning

 Abstract Consumer VR is becoming a hotspot for investors and attracted both giant companies and startups to enter. Although it is becoming hot, VR is still in its infancy stage. In order to really bring VR into consumer usage, it requires a whole ecosystem, including hardware, software and also contents, rather than relying on some key technologies to improve user experiences. Companies rushed into VR industry to seize the opportunities, while Goertek also made its move to VR with our own plan.
 Bio Ms. Zu Kun Lun is the VP Marketing of Goertek Inc. Before she joined Goertek Inc., Ms. Zu worked for IBM in strategy/management consulting in market planning, supply chain management and corporate strategy for 5 years. She successfully led client’s transformation mainly in consumer electronics. She also worked for Motorola and Lenovo in multi-functional areas and has many years’ management experiences in international business environments.
