下个月的众多技术会议真是很多看点

Edison

Siggraph、hotchips上有Larrabee，而NVISION上应该会正式公开DX11的paper，刚刚看到的RT 08上也有很多有趣的内容：

Program
The full schedule, including keynote addresses and other conference highlights, are available below.  A complete list of the posters accepted to this year's Symposium on Interactive Ray Tracing is also given below.  In addition, the Program Committee has invited the authors of several papers that have been presented elsewhere to exhibit their work as posters at RT08.  These invited posters are also listed below.
