The computer engineering department at Rochester Institute of Technology was named a CUDA Teaching Center by NVIDIA Corp.

CUDA Teaching Centers are recognized institutions that have integrated GPU computing techniques into their mainstream computer science curricula.

The focus will be on teaching next-generation high-performance parallel computing applications. Students will learn about the powerful technology at the heart of supercomputing through new courses being developed at RIT.

As a CUDA Teaching Center, RIT will receive textbooks, software licenses and NVIDIA CUDA architecture-enabled GPUs for teaching-lab computers, and if required, academic discounts for additional hardware. The equipment and materials will be used as part of graduate coursework on high-performance computing being developed by Sonia Lopez Alarcon and Roy Melton, assistant professors of computer engineering at RIT's Kate Gleason College of Engineering.

RIT is among 30 international colleges and universities in the 2012 class of teaching centers, including the University of Texas at Austin, Auburn University and the University of Toronto. It is located at 1 Lomb Memorial Drive, in Rochester.
