9418960 Flurchick并行计算机要求用户和程序员理解许多不同的概念和编程模型，以获得应用程序的性能。 随着研究人员越来越多地使用并行计算机，重要的是研究人员和学生在并行处理的概念方面得到更好的培训。 北卡罗来纳州超级计算中心和北卡罗来纳州州立大学在康奈尔理论中心、国家超级计算机应用中心和并行计算研究中心的支持下，提议与其合作伙伴一起开发和分发基于多媒体计算机的教学材料给来自工业界和学术界的学生。 这些材料将允许自定进度的教育，涵盖并行处理的各个方面。 开发的材料的一个重要方面将是一个强大的互动组件，以帮助学生评估他们的进展。

9418960 Flurchick Parallel computers require users and programmers to understand many different concepts and programming models to obtain performance from an application. With increasing availability of parallel computers for researchers, it is important that researchers and students become better trained in the concepts of parallel processing. The North Carolina Supercomputing Center and North Carolina State University with support from Cornell Theory Center, the National Center for Supercomputer Applications and the Center for Research Parallel Computing propose to develop and distribute with its partners, multimedia computer based instruction materials to students from industry and academia. These materials will allow for self paced education covering all aspects of parallel processing. One important aspect of the materials developed will be a strong interactive component to help the students evaluate their progress.
