Parallel Processing Using Cost Effective Parallel Computing Resources

这个项目是一个为期两周的研讨会，来自缺乏大量并行计算资源的机构的教师在研讨会上学习如何提供有效的并行处理课程和单元。研讨会期间使用的工具包括可以安装在现有个人计算机或工作站上的Transputer、软件模拟器以及与主要研究中心的网络连接。主要的主题是(1)并行计算机体系结构，(2)为并行计算机编写程序，(3)将并行处理融入计算机科学课程，以及(4)向本科生教授并行处理。研讨会包括讲座和实验室会议，参与者在其中编写并行计算机和并行计算机模拟器的程序。学员还计划在下一学年在其机构开设一个关于并行处理的课程或单元。

This project is a two week workshop in which faculty from institutions which lack significant parallel computing resources learn how to deliver effective courses and units on parallel processing. The tools used during the workshop include transputers which can be installed in existing personal computers or work stations, software simulators, and a network connection to a major research center. The primary topics are (1) parallel computer architectures, (2) writing programs for parallel computers, (3) integrating parallel processing into the computer science curriculum, and (4) teaching parallel processing to undergraduates. The workshop includes lectures and laboratory sessions in which participants write programs for parallel computers and parallel computer simulators. Participants also plan a course or unit on parallel processing to be implemented at their institutions during the subsequent academic year.
