SIGGRAPH '24: ACM SIGGRAPH 2024 Panels

This panel will present a short overview of the High-Performance Graphics (HPG) 2024 conference program. The conference is co-sponsored by ACM SIGGRAPH and Eurographics and, in 2024, is co-located with SIGGRAPH, taking place during the previous days, in Denver. HPG brings together researchers, engineers, and architects to discuss the complex interactions of parallel and custom hardware, novel programming models, and efficient algorithms in the design of systems for current and future graphics and visual computing applications. The panel will comprise short presentations by the keynote speakers, who will highlight their talks, and by the program and paper chairs, who will present a short overview of the papers program. This panel is an opportunity for all SIGGRAPH attendants to have an overview of the HPG content. Since it happens before SIGGRAPH starts, we understand that taking a short overview of the conference content can be of great value for both conferences.

Visualization, whether in 2D or 3D, is frequently faced with the challenge of navigating complexity, be it in the realm of data, design, or broader concept. This panel aims to delve into the intricacies of effectively communicating ideas through visualization, drawing upon the diverse experiences and expertise of panelists representing esteemed institutions such as NASA, NCSA, and The New York Times. By exploring the challenges encountered and the solutions devised by these industry leaders, the panel aims to offer valuable insights into the art and science of conveying complex ideas through visualization.
