Bringing Parallel Processing Experiences into the Undergraduate Curriculum

小行星9451919 并行处理在现代计算机科学中的作用越来越大。这在现代计算机体系结构中很明显，并反映在ACM课程指南中。 本提案的目的是为曼卡托州立大学的本科生提供一个重要的并行处理接触。这种接触将通过改变几个现有的课程，增加一个或多个并行处理实验练习，以每个课程和一个新的课程完全致力于并行处理。 MasPar MP-1处理器已被确定为硬件平台。 该处理器将为学生提供高度的并行性和建立在熟悉的Unix/C/X-Windows基础上的用户界面。 将出版经验文件，包括成功和困难，使其他大学能够更好地评估这一方法和平台。

9451919 Haglin Parallel processing is demanding an ever-increasing role in modern computer science. This is apparent in modern computer architectures and is reflected in the ACM curriculum guidelines. The purpose of this proposal is to provide a significant exposure to parallel processing for the undergraduate students at Mankato State University. This exposure will be provided through changes to several existing courses by adding one or more parallel processing lab exercises to each course and by a new course devoted entirely to parallel processing. A MasPar MP-1 processor has been identified to serve as the hardware platform. This processor will provide students with a high degree of parallelism and a user interface built upon the familiar Unix/C/X-windows base. Documentation of the experiences, including both successes and difficulties, will be published allowing other universities to better evaluate this approach and platform.
