THE PROGRAM NVIDIA 'CUDA Teaching Center'está designed to support and encourage academic institutions to expand the teaching of this model.
With this achievement, "UCAM taught art technology in the field of development of scientific applications," says José María.
In fact, only seven universities in Spain have been recognized by NVIDIA.
Along with this appointment, the prestigious American multinational attaches to a series of UCAM worth thousands of dollars to serve as José María, "build a laboratory to provide high-performance NVIDIA CUDA technology titration grade materials Computer and providing courses for people interested in the subject. "
Methods of investigation
In addition to educational applications that this distinction will provide students with the UCAM, researchers can make use of this technology to several studies, especially in the field of bioinformatics and high performance computing.
