We are proud to announce that the Ss. Cyril and Methodius University in Skopje and the Faculty of Computer Science and Engineering have been selected as an official CUDA Teaching Center by NVIDIA, the world leader in visual and high-performance computing.

CUDA is NVIDIA’s parallel computing architecture that enables dramatic increases in computing performance by harnessing the power of the graphics processing unit (GPU). CUDA Teaching Centers are recognized institutions that have integrated GPU computing techniques into their mainstream computer programming curriculum.

The CUDA Teaching Center Program is the first program of its kind to recognize institutions that have integrated GPU computing techniques into their mainstream computer programming curriculum.

With this selection, the University becomes part of a large and strong community of other leading institutions dedicated to GPU computing education and research.

As part of the CUDA Teaching Center program, NVIDIA will be donating GPUs to CSE as an unrestricted gift to support the University’s teaching efforts. The equipment will be used by the Faculty of Computer Science and Engineering as part of a new laboratory which will provide its students with access to the most advanced technologies. The laboratory will be used for teaching and research activities in the fields of CUDA C/C++ GPU computing, GPGPU and parallel programming.
