NVIDIA announced that National Taiwan University has been named as Asia’s first CUDA Center of Excellence (press release below). The university earned this title by formally adopting NVIDIA GPU Computing solutions across its research facilities and integrating a class to teach parallel computing based on the CUDA architecture into its educational curriculum. As the computing industry rapidly moves toward parallel processing and many-core architectures, over the past year, NVIDIA has worked to offer tomorrow’s developers and engineers education on the best tools and methodologies for parallel computing. In addition to working with over 50 Universities worldwide that are actively using CUDA in their courses, NVIDIA developed the CUDA Center of Excellence Program to further assist universities that are devoted to educating tomorrow’s software developers about parallel computing.
