Dr Ajay Joshi, Senior Lecturer in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, has a lot of which to be proud. Nvidia Corporation of the United States, considered the largest graphics chip and high performance computing hardware company, has renewed The UWI as a CUDA teaching centre for yet another year. CUDA is an anacronym for ‘Compute Unified Device Architecture’. It is a platform and language for Parallel Programming for high performance computing.

Dr Joshi is also the Leader, Computer Systems Engineering Group and Principal Investigator for Nvidia CUDA Centre @ UWI. According to him, The UWI was first given the status of CUDA Teaching Centre in 2011. As a certified teaching centre, UWI has access to webinars for CUDA related programming from experts in various fields, to the CUDA Cloud Training Platform and to its technical team for support.
