Khmelnytskyi, Ukraine —December 23, 2014—Khmelnytskyi National University today announced that it has been named a CUDA® Research Center by NVIDIA, the world leader in visual computing.
The CUDA parallel programming model is an important element of the NVIDIA accelerated computing platform, the leading platform for accelerating data analytics and scientific computing. CUDA enables programmers to achieve dramatic increases in computing performance by harnessing the power of NVIDIA® GPU accelerators.
CUDA Research Centers are institutions that embrace and utilize GPU-accelerated computing across multiple research fields, and are at the forefront of some of the world’s most innovative and important scientific research. Khmelnytskyi National University was recognized for its advanced research in Data Science, Analytics, Computational Structural Mechanics, Imaging and Computer Visions, Machine learning using GPUs.
At the end of 2010, the decision concerning the Parallel Computing Center creation was made by the university administration.
The main objectives of the Center are:
• Software development for parallel computing, hybrid computing systems;
• Implementation of classic and hybrid supercomputer technologies;
• Realization of complex programmatic-architectural decision of CUDA
• Computational tasks code optimization and adaptation for distributed systems;
• Training and consulting in programming massively parallel processers using the CUDA parallel programming model;
• Research activity.
“For our university and for the regional education sector in general, receiving such honorable status is an undeniable positive effect and serves a good momentum for future work.” – Sergey Kovalchuk, Scientific Head of Parallel Computing Center.
As a CUDA Research Center, Khmelnytskyi National University will have pre-release access to NVIDIA GPU hardware and software, the opportunity to attend exclusive events with key researchers and academics, a designated NVIDIA technical liaison, and access to specialized online and in-person training sessions.
