Integrating Parallel Processing as a Tool Throughout the Undergraduate Computer Science Curriculum

这项拨款提供的实验室允许并鼓励在已经建立的计算机科学课程中分配并行处理。并行处理既被用作研究对象，也被用作工具。此外，它还被用于支持学期项目和独立的学生研究。通过这个项目，七个额外的课程可以包括并行处理。这项资助提供的实验室包括一个SIMD并行处理器，非常适合图像处理、语音和语言处理以及神经网络等领域的许多任务和项目。此外，MIMD处理器还被用于一些人工智能课程，如自然语言处理和机器学习，以及图形学课程。来自物理和数学等学科的学生可以进入并行处理实验室进行研究。本课题可以证明在计算机科学本科课程中大规模使用并行处理的可行性。

The laboratory provided by this grant allows and encourages the distribution of parallel processing throughout a Computer Science curriculum where it is already established. Parallel processing is being used as a tool as well as an object of study. In addition, it is being used to support term projects and independent student research. Through this project, seven additional courses can include parallel processing. The laboratory provided by this grant includes a SIMD parallel processor that is ideally suited for many of the assignments and projects in areas such as image processing, speech and language processing, and neural networks. In addition, a MIMD processor is being used in some Artificial Intelligence courses, such as Natural Language Processing and Machine Learning, and in Graphics courses. Students from disciplines such as physics and mathematics have access to the parallel processing lab for research. This project can demonstrate the feasibility of using parallel processing on a large scale in the undergraduate computer science curriculum.
