Parallel Processing in the Undergraduate Curriculum

这个项目为那些拥有有限并行计算设备的机构的教师提供了一个为期两周的研讨会，重点是并行处理。它还包括下一学年的后续活动。研讨会的内容包括如何设计和编写并行程序、并行计算机体系结构、将并行计算集成到计算机科学课程中的技术，以及向UG学生教授并行处理的方法和材料。研讨会包括一个重要的实验室部分，参与者将有机会为各种并行计算机和模拟器编写、分析和比较并行程序。许多实验活动都是已经成功应用于学生的作业。讲习班的一部分将专门设计并行处理单元或课程，将在讲习班结束后的学年内实施。作为研讨会的一部分，来自伊利诺伊州立大学以前的并行处理研讨会的4名参与者将介绍他们与UG学生在并行处理方面所做的工作。后续活动将包括在随后的论坛期间举行互动论坛，过去的参与者将在论坛上谈论他们的工作。将在年度国家CS论坛上进行传播。

This project provides a 2 week workshop focusing on parallel processing for faculty from institutions with limited parallel computing equipment. It also includes a follow-through activities during the following academic year. The workshop covers material on how to design and write parallel programs, parallel computer architectures, techniques for integrating parallel computing into computer science courses,and methods and materials for teaching parallel processing to UG students. The workshop includes a significant laboratory portion in which participants will have the opportunity to write, analyze, and compare parallel programs for various parallel computers and simulators. many of the lab activities will be assignments that have been successfully used with students. a portion of the workshop will be devoted to the design of a parallel processing unit or course to be implemented during the academic year following the workshop. As part of the workshop, 4 participants from prior parallel processing workshops at Illinois State University, will present the work that they have done with UG students in parallel processing. Follow-through activities will include an interactive forum during following forum, in which past participants will talk about their work. Dissemination will occur at annual national CS forums.
