Focusing on parallel computing, the symposium seeks papers on graphics and visualization techniques, data structures, algorithms, and systems for:

• large-data
• clusters
• (multi-)GPU computing, and heterogeneous, hybrid architectures
• out-of-core
• hybrid distributed and shared memory architectures
• grid and cloud environments
• In particular the symposium topics include:
• computationally and data intensive rendering
• scientific visualization (volume rendering, flow and tensor visualization)
• information visualization and visual analytics
• simulations for virtual environments (physics-based animation, collision detection, acoustic)
• mesh processing, level-of-detail, and geometric methods
• visual computing (image- and video-based rendering, image processing and exploitation, segmentation)
• scheduling, memory management and data coherence
• large and high resolution displays, virtual environments
• scientific, engineering, and industrial applications
