Curriculum Innovation in Multicore Computing

多核现在是处理器设计的默认商用方法；研究人员正在积极探索积极的扩展和复杂、异构的方法，如GPU和混合GPU/CPU架构。将多核计算的知识整合到计算机科学课程中已经相当迅速地成为必要的。PI正在寻求资金，以规划和评估波特兰州立大学计算机科学系一门名为多核计算的课程的发展。该课程面向高级本科生和初级研究生，涵盖架构、操作系统、编程语言、并行编程和性能分析等传统CS领域。迫切需要开发能够广泛和更普遍地有用的与课程有关的材料。

Multicore is now the default commodity approach to processor design; and research is actively exploring aggressive scaling and complex, heterogeneous approaches such asGPUs and hybrid GPU/CPU architectures. It has quite rapidly become essential to integrate knowledge of Multicore Computing into the Computer Science curriculum. The PI is seeking funding for planning and assessing development of a course called Multicore Computing in the Computer Science Department at Portland State University. The course is targeted to advanced undergraduates and beginning graduate students, and spans traditional CS areas of architecture, operating systems, programming languages, parallel programming, and performance analysis. There is a pressing need for development of course related materials that can be widely and more generally useful.
