JAMMU, July 9: Thapar Institute of Engineering & Technology (TIET) announced to establish the Thapar School of Advanced AI & Data Science (TSAAI), here today.
In this regard an MoU was signed between TIET and NVIDIA.
Speaking on the occasion, Dr. Padmakumar Nair, Director of TIET said, “We are excited about the opportunity to establish this AI school, in technical collaboration with NVIDIA.”
“This work will not only bridge the gap in AI expertise but also pave the way for cutting-edge research and innovation in this transformative field. This also establishes our vision of providing education that creates future-ready students,” he added.
“As a key player in the global AI education initiative, Thapar Institute will integrate cutting-edge NVIDIA technologies to cultivate a new generation of AI experts across India,” said Vishal Dhupar, Managing Director of Asia South at NVIDIA.
Under the agreement, TIET will set up state-of-the-art AI infrastructure leveraging NVIDIA DGX systems with NVIDIA H100 Tensor Core GPUs, NVIDIA A100 Tensor Core GPUs, and the NVIDIA AI Enterprise software platform for the development and deployment of generative AI.
This dedicated data center will offer 227 petaflops of AI performance with nearly 8 terabytes of GPU memory.
Apart from core accelerated computing infrastructure, TIET is setting up edge computing infrastructure with 500 Jetson Nano developer kits to build up the startup ecosystem, taking leaps forward to turn graduates into job creators rather than job seekers.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) continues to revolutionize industries worldwide, driving innovation, reshaping the future of education and changing lives.
Under the Memorandum of Understanding signed between TIET and NVIDIA, TSAAI will be established at TIET’s campus, Patiala.
