The objective of this collaborative project is to: (1) assess and identify programming languages suitable for teaching parallel programming to all students; (2) develop and collect learning resources that will help others learn and teach these languages at the undergraduate level; (3) identify compelling examples of applications to excite and grow student interest in parallel programming; and (4) present findings and prepare adaptable and reproducible materials through publications, conference presentations, and tutorials.This project addresses the need to transform undergraduate education in computer science in response to a major shift in computer hardware to focus on the multicore processor and parallel programming. The project assesses the applicability of high-level languages and creates both classroom and laboratory materials to teach these languages in an undergraduate setting. The project has a potential to transform undergraduate computer science education of the next generation of parallel programmers and multicore developers. The project contributes resources to the NSDL library to encourage other educators to integrate parallel programming and higher-level languages into the undergraduate curriculum at their institutions.

这个合作项目的目标是：（1）评估和确定适合教授所有学生并行编程的编程语言;（2）开发和收集学习资源，以帮助其他人在本科阶段学习和教授这些语言;（3）确定令人信服的应用实例，以激发和培养学生对并行编程的兴趣;以及（4）通过出版物、会议报告和教程来展示研究结果，并准备适应性和可复制性的材料。本项目旨在应对计算机硬件向多核处理器和并行编程的重大转变，从而改变计算机科学的本科教育。该项目评估了高级语言的适用性，并创建了课堂和实验室材料，以在本科环境中教授这些语言。该项目有可能改变下一代并行程序员和多核开发人员的本科计算机科学教育。该项目为NSDL图书馆提供资源，以鼓励其他教育工作者将并行编程和高级语言纳入其机构的本科课程。
