"The NVIDIA Visual Computing Lab at IIIT Hyderabad is a great step forward in the strong relationship that we share with the institute. This lab will be a great asset to the students and the faculty as they delve in more and more research on cutting-edge engineering as well as advanced GPU technologies such as CUDA. With the addition of this lab, IIIT Hyderabad will be able to understand, experiment with and harness the capabilities of the new CUDA parallel processing architectures. As one of the country's leading schools doing some of the most pioneering research, I am delighted to be inaugurating this lab at IIIT Hyderabad," said Jen-Hsun Huang, president and CEO, NVIDIA Corporation.
Part of the research in the lab will be focussed on massively parallel programming and utilising the explosive computational power of the GPU for new fields such as keyword detection in videos etc.
"We're very excited to partner with NVIDIA. We have been working together for over two years, and the NVIDIA Visual Computing Lab is the perfect next step in this relationship. The CUDA technology in NVIDIA GPUs holds a great promise as a high-performance co-processor," said Professor P.J Narayanan, dean, R&D, IIIT Hyderabad. |
