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.

该项目正在向 16 名计算机科学本科生介绍并行计算。 当他们完成该项目时，他们不仅准备开发关于并行计算的本科课程，而且还将评估在自己的学院建立本科并行处理实验室的可行性，并了解将并行计算的各个方面纳入其他课程的可能性。 该项目始于 1991 年夏天为期两周的强化课程。该课程包括调查并行计算广泛范围的讲座以及有关并行算法的设计和实现的指导。 本课程中大约一半的时间将用于实践编程。 每个参与者都会有一个并行开发工作站，还有四台并行计算机（其中三台有十六个处理器，一台有八个处理器）用于运行程序和对程序进行基准测试。 秋季期间，参与者将参与更大的项目，讲师将进行实地考察和/或返回高露洁。 1992 年 1 月，将举办为期一周的研讨会，参与者将展示他们的项目并讨论向本科生教授并行编程的实际问题。
