The International Workshop for OpenCL (IWOCL, which is pronounced "eye-wok-ul") was conceived in a meeting between Simon McIntosh-Smith and Ben Bergen at the Los Alamos National Laboratory on May 8th 2012. McIntosh-Smith and Bergen lamented that there were no organized workshops or meetings for the rapidly growing OpenCL community. After testing this idea with colleagues over the next few months, they decided to create the kind of OpenCL conference they wanted to go to themselves, and thus IWOCL was born.
