Rochester Institute of Technology was recently named a CUDA Research Center by international technology company Nvidia Corp. It is one of eight international universities receiving the designation for the 2012–2013 academic year.
The Research Center designation was awarded to RIT’s computer engineering department, part of the Kate Gleason College of Engineering. As a CUDA Research Center, faculty and students are able to use the newest models of Nvidia’s CUDA architecture-enabled GPUs to further current research and to test the system as a way to improve its capabilities.
The department will receive Nvidia’s latest Kepler architecture models to use in several research projects under way, and to train current undergraduates and graduates in use of the advanced processing platform.
In January 2012 the department was also named a CUDA Teaching Center, recognized for integrating high performance computing techniques into its undergraduate and graduate computer science curricula. The university received textbooks, software licenses and NVIDIA CUDA architecture-enabled graphics processing units for teaching-lab computers.
