9414309 Kurtz Louisiana Tech University will develop an entirely new sophomore-level course on parallel and distributed computing and five knowledge units designed to be added to existing courses in the upper division curriculum. The early introduction of concurrency will allow the transfer of current research results into upper division courses. Instructional support materials including sample lecture notes, laboratory manuals, software, and multimedia aids will be produced. In particular, an extensive software environment for the new sophomore-level course where students will be able to experiment with the various methods of concurrency and different connection topologies will be developed. A CD-ROM disk for instructors that will introduce them to the various public domain software packages already available over the Internet will be provided as well as advice on using these packages in their courses, and sample problems and solutions. Louisiana Tech has also solicited the participation of Grambling State University (GSU). Faculty from GSU will participate in the development of course materials. These materials will be designed so that they can be used in Computer Science programs at a wide variety of schools. There will be no dependency on having a massively parallel computer; rather, simulations of parallel architectures will be used. Distributed processing over local area networks will also be stressed. Course materials will be tested at both Louisiana Tech and Grambling. Collaboration with the University of Central Florida has also been arranged. ***

小行星9414309 路易斯安那理工大学将开发一门全新的并行和分布式计算的高级课程，以及五个知识单元，旨在添加到现有的高级课程中。 早期引入并行将允许当前的研究成果转移到上师课程。 教学辅助材料包括课堂讲稿样本、实验手册、软件和多媒体辅助工具。 特别是，将开发一个广泛的软件环境，用于新的并行级课程，学生将能够实验各种并发方法和不同的连接拓扑结构。 将向教员提供一个光盘，向他们介绍因特网上已有的各种公共领域软件包，并就如何在其课程中使用这些软件包提供咨询意见，并提供问题和解决办法的例子。 路易斯安那理工大学还邀请了格兰布林州立大学（GSU）的参与。 GSU的教师将参与课程材料的开发。 这些材料将被设计，使他们可以在各种各样的学校的计算机科学课程使用。 不会依赖于大规模并行计算机;相反，将使用并行架构的模拟。 还将强调局域网上的分布式处理。 课程材料将在路易斯安那理工大学和格兰布林大学进行测试。 还安排了与中佛罗里达大学的合作。 ***
