Nvidia CUDA Research Center

4/29/2014: Virginia Commonwealth University has been designated an NVIDIA CUDA Research Center (CRC) based on the vision, quality, and impact of its research leveraging CUDA technology.

The VCU CRC will conduct advanced research in a variety of areas employing CUDA technology, including integrated CPU-GPU (Graphic Processing Units) architectures, memory organization, security, power efficiency, compiler optimizations, and algorithm design for general-purpose GPU (GPGPU) computing. The center will also leverage GPUs and accelerators to facilitate inter-disciplinary study and improve performance for a variety of data-parallel applications such as scientific computation, bioinformatics, medical image processing, and big data analytics.

NVIDIA recognizes and fosters collaboration with research groups at universities and research institutes that are expanding the frontier of massively parallel computing. Institutions identified as CUDA Research Centers are doing world-changing research by leveraging CUDA and NVIDIA GPUs.

More information about VCU CRC can be found at the Nvidia website.
