This project introduces 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 the possibilities for incorporating aspects of parallel computing into other courses. The project begins with an intensive two- week course in the summer of 1992. 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 is spent doing hands-on programming. There is a parallel development work station for every participant and four parallel computers (three with sixteen processors, one with eight processors) for running and bench marking the programs. During the Fall, the twenty participants work on larger projects, with site visits from the instructors and/or visits back to Colgate. In January 1993 there is a one-week seminar where participants present their projects and discuss the practical aspects of teaching parallel programming to undergraduates.//

该项目向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一个本科并行处理实验室的可行性，以及将并行计算的各个方面纳入其他课程的可能性。该项目于1992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，大约一半的时间都花在了动手编程上。每个参与者都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)，用于运行和对程序进行基准测试。在秋季期间，20名参与者将从事更大的项目，由讲师进行实地访问和/或返回高露洁。1993年1月，有一个为期一周的研讨会，参与者介绍他们的项目，并讨论向本科生教授并行编程的实际方面。
