Curriculum Innovation in Multicore Computing

多核现在是处理器设计的默认商品方法;研究正在积极探索积极的扩展和复杂的异构方法，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变得非常重要。PI正在寻求资金，用于规划和评估波特兰州立大学计算机科学系的多核计算课程的开发。本课程面向高年级本科生和研究生，涵盖了传统的CS领域，包括架构、操作系统、编程语言、并行编程和性能分析。迫切需要编制与课程有关的材料，使其能够广泛和普遍地发挥作用。

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.
