Professor Hank Dietz is usually in his office,
203 Davis Marksbury Building,
and has an "open-door" policy that whenever his door is open and
he's not busy with someone else, he's available. However, there
are quite a few other places he might be around campus.
His schedule is at http://aggregate.org/hankd/cal.html, which also shows
live sensor info about his availability.
Alternatively, you also can email hankd@engr.uky.edu to make an appointment.
About the graphic: The first GPU that was truly intended as a computing device, rather than a graphics card, was the ATI FireStream, shown in the fisheye image. Since then, ATI (now part of AMD) and NVIDIA have been the major players, with NVIDIA's CUDA software environment dominating the field. OpenCL is the newer "generic" software environment being pushed as a portable standard. There's even some significance to the color and placement of the text... but I've said enough for now. ;-)
