Parellel Computing for Undergraduate Faculty

这个项目是介绍16个本科计算机科学学院并行计算。当他们完成这个项目后，他们不仅要准备开发一门关于并行计算的本科课程，还要评估在他们自己的学院建立一个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。该项目开始于1991年夏季进行为期两周的密集课程。本课程包括概览并行计算的广泛范围的讲座，以及并行算法的设计和实现的指导。在本课程中，大约有一半的时间将用于动手编程。每个参与者将有一个并行开发工作站和四台并行计算机（三台有16个处理器，一台有8个处理器）用于运行和基准测试程序。在秋季，参与者将参与更大的项目，由导师进行实地考察和/或回到高露洁。1992年1月将举行一个为期一周的讨论会，参加者将提出他们的项目，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.
