_________________________________________________________________
Graphics Hardware is a highly visible, established international forum
for exchanging experience and knowledge related to computer graphics
hardware. The event, held annually since 1986, offers a unique
perspective on graphics hardware by combining discussions and
constructive critique of innovative concepts as well as product-level
designs. It is an inclusive forum for the entire graphics hardware
community and brings together researchers, engineers, and architects.
The program features two days of paper and industry presentations,
with ample time for discussion during breaks, lunches, and the
workshop banquet. This year's event will be held in Los Angeles, CA,
USA, jointly with ACM SIGGRAPH.
Please visit our website at

Papers Track
We invite high-quality, original papers on all aspects of computer
graphics hardware describing either proven and tested solutions or
novel ideas and concepts.
* Graphics accelerator architectures
* Performance measurement, modelling, and optimization
* Pixel operations and frame buffer techniques
* Multi-processor architectures for graphics
* Hardware support for image-based rendering
* Load balancing in graphics systems
* Expansion and acceleration of shading models
* Volume rendering architectures
* Space, screen, and model partitioning
* Hardware support for photorealism
* Exploitation of new memory technologies for 3D graphics
* Vertex and pixel programming techniques
* Programmable graphics processors
* Shading language implementation
* Software-hardware interfaces
* Integrated graphics chipsets
* Hardware support of new surface representations
Note: Papers describing "ports" of algorithms to run on a programmable
graphics processor will only be considered if they employ a
significantly new and non-obvious technique to make the best use of a
graphics processor's architecture.
Submission info
Authors are invited to upload papers electronically in Adobe PDF
format by visiting
http://www.graphicshardware.org/. Please limit
the length to 8 typeset pages in final Eurographics format (preferred)
or 16 double-spaced pages.
If you would like to send video sequences in QuickTime, MPEG or AVI
format, they can be submitted using the electronic submission system.
For further questions please contact papers(a)graphicshardware.org.
Hot 3D Systems Track
We invite vendors in the 3D industry to present their latest and
greatest 3D chips or system designs. Presentations should be
technical, rather than marketing, and should focus on real products
(20 minutes). The deadline for Hot3D presentations is approximately
six weeks before the workshop, allowing submission of late-breaking
work.
Submission info
Contributors are invited to send abstracts for their Hot 3D Systems
presentation to hot3d(a)graphicshardware.org. Final versions of the
presentations are to be sent electronically, in Microsoft PowerPoint
format, as an email attachment to the same address.
Bound copies of the slides will be distributed to attendees, and
presentation slides will be made available on the workshop web page
after the workshop.
For further questions please contact hot3d(a)graphicshardware.org.
Location
Graphics Hardware 2005 will take place in Los Angeles, CA, USA on
Saturday and Sunday July 30/31, 2005. This event will overlap with the
ACM SIGGRAPH conference/courses on Sunday.
Please see our web page for details on registration, accommodation,
and travel, as they become available. We will continue our tradition
of a sumptuous banquet at a unique location.
Registration
The registration fee will include the workshop proceedings, banquet,
coffee, and lunches. The workshop fee does not cover accommodations.
Please see our website for full details on registration and
accommodations.
Best Paper Award
An award of $500 will be given to the authors of the paper considered
to be the outstanding paper presented at the event. The award is based
on the accuracy, originality, and importance of the technical concept,
the quality and readability of the manuscript, as well as the content
and delivery of the verbal presentation. To qualify for this award,
one or more of the principal authors must be enrolled at the workshop
and present the paper. The winner will be chosen by the organizing
committee based on audience feedback and will be announced at the end
of the workshop.
Demonstrations
Presenters and participants are invited to bring prototypes or
products for demonstration at the event. Demonstrations will be held
during breaks and before and after the sessions. We highly encourage
paper authors and industry presenters to demonstrate their systems.
Please contact the organizing committee by email at
info(a)graphicshardware.org to arrange for space or electrical
connections that may be required for your demonstration.
