Dell Technologies Academic Community Sessions
In the Dell Technologies Academic Community Sessions (DTACS) the emphasis is not on sales and marketing but on knowledge and knowledge sharing between Universities, Research Organizations, University Medical Centers and all Academics who want to gain knowledge in new and innovative technology and solutions.
The following technology companies have already participated in DTACS: AMD, Intel, SUSE, NGD Systems, Liqid, Graphcore and Pivotal. The following is the history of the sessions:
- 2018, October – Session on AMD & SUSE CEPH at Wageningen University and Research.
- 2019, March – NGD Systems for Computational drives and Code optimization by Intel at Eindhoven University of Technology.
- 2019, November – Session on Graphcore and Pivotal at the University of Utrecht.
- 2020, December – Virtual DTACS session on Liqid for Composable Disaggregated Infrastructure (CDI).
- 2022, April – AMD accelerators roadmap and CUDA to HIP at Eindhoven University of Technology
Based on these sessions, we received more requests from Researchers, Scientists and Enterprise Architects than for DTACS. These applications can now be conducted in the ILSE Lab, this after consultation with the ILSE Innovation Team.
