Undergraduate Education in High Performance Computing

这个项目通过对高性能计算的介绍来扩展本科计算机系统课程。到目前为止，计算机设施还不能支持这样的课程。正在使用资金购买必要的硬件和软件，以教授两门新课程，一门是关于并行处理的，另一门是关于实验计算机科学的。第一门课程基于一种新的方法，强调并行语言作为并行体系结构和并行算法之间的桥梁。第二个课程很可能是绝对的第一个。它完全围绕实验组织，教学生如何评估高性能技术。在本科其他课程提供的背景下，这些课程结合在一起，可以增强学生处理尖端技术的能力。通过万维网传播，该项目可以支持其他大学开展类似课程。

This project expands the undergraduate computer systems curriculum through an introduction to high-performance computing. Until now, the computing facilities could not support such courses. Funds are being used to acquire the necessary hardware and software to teach two new courses, one on parallel processing and one on experimental computer science. The first course is based on a novel approach that emphasizes parallel languages as a bridge between parallel architectures and parallel algorithms. The second course is quite likely an absolute first. Organized exclusively around experiments, it teaches students how to evaluate high-performance technology. Together, and in the context offered by the rest of the undergraduate curriculum, these courses can strengthen students' ability to deal with cutting-edge technology. By dissemination through the World Wide Web, this project can support the development of similar courses in other universities.
