Cuda tips up at National Taiwan University
AT LONG LAST it would appear someone is adopting Nvidia's CUDA, with the National Taiwan University (NTU) earning an award for being "Asia's first Cuda center of excellence".
Being a Cuda centre of excellence is apparently no small undertaking, with NTU having to adopt Nvidia GPUs across all its research facilities as well as adding a class to its curriculum teaching parallel computing based on the Cuda architecture.
The university is also working with a number of Nvidia Tesla GPUs, including Tesla S1070 1U systems, desktop workstations containing multiple Tesla C1060 GPUs and Tesla personal supercomputers.
These will purportedly be used by students and university boffins studying astronomy, quantum science, financial option modeling, information security, molecular dynamics and medical device research.
NTU now joins a not-so-long list of other recognised ‘Cuda centers of excellence', including the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and the University of Utah. But Nvidia insists, more announcements are on the way.
Cud-a be that this is indeed the case. µ

I bet this news will have charlie moaning for a week.

"it does show exactly what we already knew, CUDA and GPGPU is on it's last legs."
Now, Charlie, eat it.
"Now, Charlie, eat it. "
He'll still "report news" that he makes up off the top of his head.
And ATI fans will still rally to it.
Bristol tips up at Cuda as well! http://www.cudafootball.com/join-the-cuda.htm I thought you'd know about Bristols.
Dear Sylvie:
I wish you had better sources and did your homework before stating things as "finally someone using CUDA".
Here's a tip:
In Mexico, Universidad de Colima is doing important scientific studies, as well as sismical, weather and volcanic exploration using those nifty things called TESLA Processors. CUDA there.
Tecnologico de Monterrey, one of the most important study houses in the country, is currently on test with two super computers with 3xTESLA cards and all of their students on Computer Science are currently studying GPU GEMS, aka, the Great and Fascinating Book of GPU Programing with CUDA, by NVIDIA.
That's Mexico. I'm ****very***** certain other countries have their share as well.
You have a nice one, now, ok?
