NIIT and Intel launches multi-core training curriculum

NIIT Ltd has announced that Intel and the Company on June 26, 2007 announced the launch of multi-core training curriculum that has been developed jointly and will be deployed by the Company, globally. As industry transitions from single core processors to multi-core, software developers will need a new set of skills to design and develop software that harnesses the full potential of these processors.

The Company, in association with its training partners will offer the Intel multi-core training curriculum to the software developer community, globally.

Speaking on the occasion Mr. Rajendra S Pawar, Chairman, of the Company said, "NIIT will, aggressively build Global Talent for Intel's multi-core technology."

The multi-core training curriculum offers basic and advanced training-from an initial overview of multi-core, to a working experience of parallel programming, including the intricacies of multi-threaded programming and performance optimization. The curriculum has been designed to empower developers with key diagnostic skills and specialized threading tools which will allow rapid deployment of correct and efficient parallel applications.

The multi-core training curriculum will be delivered using the Company's reach in 32 countries, and its subsidiary Element K in US & Canada.

To further enhance the penetration of training, the Company is partnering with intel Software Training Providers in Australia, Germany, South Korea and Uk - Training Choice, TRIA IT-training GmbH, Samsung SDS and QA-IQ, respectively. Other training partners include NETRON and Aribil in Turkey; and Academy IT and LANIT in Russia.

The launch of this curriculum follows a long-standing relationship that the Company has with Intel. Earlier in August 2005, following an alliance with Intel to train 50,000 developers on Intel technologies the Intel® VTune^TM Performance Analyzer course was embedded into the GNIIT curriculum resulting in 20,000 developers completing this training by the end of 2007.

This global launch is another important element in Intel's over-all initiative to prepare the software industry for multi-core programmers and the Company's mission of Global Talent Development.

In addition to this new curriculum, Intel offers a comprehensive portfolio of resources to facilitate software developers to take advantage of multi-core processors including a full suite of development tools for multi-core processors, an online multi-core developer community via the Intel® Software Network and a multi-core University Initiative that delivers multi-core curricula to thousands of students in more than 200 universities worldwide and the Intel® Software Partner Program to engage software organizations worldwide.
