TG Daily: "Nvidia is well aware of this challenge and has begun assisting universities in establishing classes and developing course material focusing on massively parallel programming and CUDA in particular. Eventually, the company hopes, that GPGPU programming will become a standard part in computer science course work and help to educate a whole new generation of programmers. So far, Nvidia has taught courses at the University of Illinois, The University of California, the University of North Carolina and Purdue University. Nvidia said that several universities are developing their own courses, including the University of Virginia, the University of Pennsylvania, Oregon State University, the University of Wisconsin. Caltech, MIT, Berkeley and Stanford have been offering “legacy” GPGPU and GPU programming classes, according to Nvidia chief scientist David Kirk."
