Computer science department recognized
The Department of Computer Science has been selected as a 2011-12 Compute Unified Device Architecture (CUDA) Teaching Center by NVIDIA, a leader in visual and high-performance computing.
The award recognizes institutions that have integrated and shown a commitment to teaching parallel computing, an architectural concept that allows computers to run very large programs simultaneously as well as multiple applications on multiple processing units.
Computer science faculty member Sangyeun Cho was the author of the CUDA proposal.
As a recognized CUDA Teaching Center, the University will receive more than $25,000 worth of CUDA-enabled graphics processing units, a commonly used device for creating strong visuals on mobile phones, computers and game consoles. Funding also will support a teaching assistant, a CUDA teaching kit that includes textbooks and software licenses, as well as access to NVIDIA’s remotely accessible testing for students to assess their CUDA programming skills.
