Parallel Computing for Undergraduate Faculty

面向本科生的并行计算这个项目的目的是为了培养本科生教授并行计算的能力。当学员完成我们将提供的课程后，他们将准备将并行计算加入他们的课程，方法是将并行计算的主题整合到现有课程中，或者教授一门或多门专门关于并行计算的课程。此外，与会者将准备评估在他们自己的学院建立并行计算实验室的可行性。该课程将于1997年夏季以为期两周的强化课程开始。本课程将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。大约一半的课程时间将花在使用高露洁的并行计算机实践开发和实施并行程序上。在秋季期间，参与者将在项目上工作，并在可能的情况下由讲师进行实地访问。在1998年1月或2月的后续会议上，与会者将介绍他们的项目成果，并将有机会讨论向本科生教授并行计算的实际方面。第二组参加者将遵循类似的模式，在1998年夏季举办培训班，开展项目工作，并在1999年初举行后续会议。

Parallel Computing for Undergraduate Faculty The purpose of this project is to prepare undergraduate faculty to teach parallel computing. When participants have completed the course which we will offer, they will be prepared to add parallel computing to their curriculum, either by integrating topics on parallel computing into existing courses or by teaching one or more courses specifically on parallel computing. In addition, participants will be ready to assess the feasibility of establishing a parallel computing laboratory at their own college. The course will begin with an intensive two-week session in the summer of 1997. This course will include lectures surveying the broad scope of parallel computing and instruction on the design and implementation of parallel algorithms. About half of the course time will be spent on hands-on development and implementation of parallel programs using the parallel computers at Colgate. During the fall, participants will work on projects, with site visits from the instructors where possible. At the follow-up session in January or February, 1998, participants will present their project results and will have an opportunity to discuss the practical aspects of teaching parallel computing to undergraduates. A second group of participants will follow a similar pattern with a course in the summer of 1998, project work and a follow-up session early in 1999.
