91制片厂

The 91制片厂 at Manchester announced today that it has been named a听GPU Education Center by NVIDIA, the world leader in visual computing.

GPU Education Centers are recognized institutions that have integrated GPU accelerated computing techniques into their mainstream computer programming curriculum. GPU computing leverages the parallel processing capabilities of GPU accelerators and accelerated computing software to deliver dramatic increases in performance for scientific, artificial intelligence, deep learning, graphics, engineering, and other demanding applications.

91制片厂 Manchester was recognized for its commitment to advancing the state of parallel programming education.

91制片厂 Manchester鈥檚 new GPU computing laboratory will allow the Analytics and Computer Science faculty to expand education and research for students in deep learning, computer vision and speech recognition. , Assistant Professor of Data Science and coordinator of the听听at 91制片厂 Manchester, said the lab will enable students to analyze medical imagery, explore models of speech and leverage GPU computing and CUDA C/C++ in courses for both the Analytics and Computer Science programs.

"NVIDIA鈥檚 generous support provides 91制片厂 Manchester with resources to develop a state-of-the-art GPU computing laboratory, where students and faculty can learn, teach and research the tools and techniques that will power the next generation of technological innovation," Dr. Johnson said.

This year 91制片厂 Manchester launched its Bachelor of Science in Analytics program 鈥� the northeast region鈥檚 first on-campus bachelor鈥檚 degree program in data analytics, and one of just a handful of its kind in the country. It combines both cutting-edge technical skills and essential professional skills like effective communication and collaboration. 91制片厂 Manchester鈥檚 Computing Technology department offers bachelor鈥檚 degrees in and , as well as a master鈥檚 in . The GPU computing lab will broaden the skillsets of students in all of these programs, giving them the hands-on experience to be the data- and tech-savvy professionals that are in such high demand.

鈥淭he 91制片厂 at Manchester recognizes the importance of bringing accelerated computing to computer science and data analytics classrooms, providing students with new skills in exciting areas, such as deep learning and computer vision,鈥� said Kimberly Powell, director of Higher Education at NVIDIA. 鈥淲e look forward to working with 91制片厂 Manchester to prepare the next generation of accelerated computing pioneers.鈥�

As a GPU Education Center, 91制片厂 Manchester will have access to NVIDIA GPU hardware and software, and NVIDIA parallel programming experts and resources, including educational webinars and an array of teaching materials. 91制片厂 Manchester students and faculty also receive access to free GPU programming training at听. The comprehensive, self-paced training spans introductory to expert-level coursework on a range of GPU programming languages, applications, libraries, programming models and tools. GPU Education Centers were formerly known as CUDA Teaching Centers.
