UW-Madison Center of computing Research, Education and Innovation for the Next Wave of Computing Systems
WHY N+1?
Computing innovation is suffering from a tech talent shortage, a disconnect between research and industry, and a lack of applied skill learning. To address this, N+1 offers a new model of tech education that blends applied learning, advanced research, and innovation. N+1 takes a collaborative approach—students, faculty, and industries—creating a community to bring transformational innovation to its full potential.
WHY UW?
With 4,900 students, growing at a rate of 25% a year – UW is a fast-growing leader in computer and data sciences. #1 in Logic & Verification, #1 in Storage Systems, #3 in Programming Languages, #4 in Computer Architecture, Databases, #6 in Operating Systems, #8 in Visualization. With high national rankings and a rapidly expanding student body, the future is made here.
WHY NOW?
Over 90% of the world’s data was created in the last 2 years alone. The pace of change in disruptive technology advancements has dramatically increased and will continue at a blistering pace. Novel innovations like Artificial General Intelligence, Edge Computing, and Web3 are poised to revolutionize every industry, company, and city by creating more intelligent and data-driven processes and results. Now, we must turn that data into knowledge and innovation to enhance the rhythms of everyday life.
Coming soon!
Thanks to a generous gift from Qualcomm, the Institute is launching a brand new Edge Computing Lab. Open to both undergraduate and graduate students, the lab will enable student projects to build AI inference applications optimized to run on Edge devices, such as Qualcomm’s Snapdragon and Dragonwing-based smartphones, laptops, and IoT devices. Stay tuned for more information about launch dates and ways to get involved!
