Parellel Computing for Undergraduate Faculty

该项目向16名本科生计算机科学教师介绍并行计算。当他们完成项目后，他们不仅准备开发一门关于并行计算的本科课程，而且还将评估在他们自己的学院建立本科并行处理实验室的可行性，并意识到将并行计算的各个方面纳入其他课程的可能性。该项目于1991年夏天以为期两周的强化课程开始。该课程包括概述并行计算的广泛范围的讲座，以及关于并行算法的设计和实现的指导。在这门课程中，大约一半的时间将花在动手编程上。将为每个参与者配备一个并行开发工作站和四台并行计算机(三台具有十六个处理器，一台具有八个处理器)，用于运行和基准程序。在秋季，参与者将从事更大的项目，讲师将实地访问和/或访问高露洁。1992年1月将有一个为期一周的研讨会，与会者将在研讨会上介绍他们的项目，并讨论向本科生教授并行编程的实际问题。

This project is introducing 16 undergraduate computer science faculty to parallel computing. When they have completed the project they will not only be prepared to develop an undergraduate course on parallel computing, but also to assess the feasibility of establishing an undergraduate parallel processing laboratory at their own college and to be aware of the possibilities for incorporating aspects of parallel computing into other courses. The project begins with an intensive two-week course in the summer of 1991. The course includes lectures surveying the broad scope of parallel computing and instruction on the design and implementation of parallel algorithms. About half the time during this course will be spent doing hands-on programming. There will be a parallel development workstation for every participant and four parallel computers (three with sixteen processors, one with eight processors) for running and benchmarking the programs. During the Fall, participants will work on larger projects, with site visits from the instructors and/or visits back to Colgate. In January 1992 there will be a one-week seminar during which participants will present their projects and discuss the practical aspects of teaching parallel programming to undergraduates.
