Given the huge profit margins of GPUs for mobile vs. PCs, it&#8217;s where the market has moved. It feels a little &#8220;back to the future&#8221;, with GPU speeds getting reset about a decade vs. PC performance, but there&#8217;s some interesting research being done, e.g. <a href=\"http:\/\/fileadmin.cs.lth.se\/graphics\/research\/papers\/2012\/power\/\">this paper<\/a> (not at SIGGRAPH but at HPG, I noticed it today on <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/#!\/morgan3d\">Morgan McGuire&#8217;s Twitter feed<\/a> and thought it was fascinating).<\/li>\n<li>I was thinking of arriving Sunday afternoon, but then noticed some interesting talks in the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/s2012.siggraph.org\/attendees\/sessions\/100-135\">Game Worlds<\/a> talks on Sunday, 2-3:30 pm.<\/li>\n<li>Other talks will be of interest, I&#8217;ll need to wade through <a href=\"http:\/\/s2012.siggraph.org\/attendees\/talks\">the list<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>Emerging Technologies and the Exhibition Floor usually have something that grabs my attention (if nothing else, I can browse through new books), and I maybe should give <a href=\"http:\/\/s2012.siggraph.org\/attendees\/real-time-live\">Real Time Live<\/a> a visit.<\/li>\n<li>And, meeting people, of course &#8211; it&#8217;s inspiring and fun to hear what others are up to.
