NVIDIA and Astronomy Data and Computing Services (ADACS) are pleased to announce an upcoming CUDA Advanced Workshop <span style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">that will be available to all members of the national astronomy
community during the week starting July 13th 2020. The workshop </span><span style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">will be delivered online over multiple days - most likely three sessions of three hours (with break) spread
across July 14-16. </span><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"> </span></div>
