Nvidia today announced a collaboration with IIT-Guwahati (IIT-G) and IIT-Roorkee (IIT-R) to develop skills in high-performance computing (HPC) programming and deep learning. With this collaboration, IIT-G and IIT-R aim to train over 250 students in the next year through workshops and sessions to develop skills in deep learning and CUDA, the parallel computing programming model.
Under the Electronics & ICT Academy program, sponsored by the Ministry of Electronics & Information Technology, IIT-G and IIT-R plan to set up a training academy to develop skillsets in fundamental and advanced aspects of AI to bridge the gap between academia and industry.
