Khronos Hosting Pan-Pacific Events

TAIPEI, TAIWAN — Throughout 2012 Khronos (www.Khronos.org) is hosting a Pan-Pacific-based series of press events, public educational sessions and private face-to-face meetings & dinners for Khronos members and prospective members.
The Khronos Group is a not for profit industry consortium that creates open standards for the authoring and acceleration of parallel computing, graphics and dynamic media on a wide variety of platforms and devices. For no cost, participants can speak or demo at any of these sessions about their work or products running on Khronos technology.  

The events are an opportunity to rub shoulders with key contacts from academia, the press community, and members inside Khronos Group. Analysts Dr. Jon Peddie and Kathleen Maher from JPR will serve as guest speakers at these Khronos events.
