[comp.parallel] Course: Teaching Parallel Programming to Undergraduates

Allan.Fisher@cs.cmu.edu (05/15/91)

The Carnegie Mellon University School of Computer Science plans to
offer a 2-week intensive course from July 22 - Aug 2 to prepare faculty
to teach classes on the programming of parallel computers.  This course
covers the major programming styles, - message-passing computing -
shared-memory computing - data-parallel computing, as well as the -
automatic extraction of parallelism and representative computer
architectures.  The course emphasizes the practical aspects of parallel
computing as well as theoretical models relevant to parallel computing.
There will be extensive laboratory sessions to provide the participants
with hands-on experience on  a variety of computers, e.g.  Encore
Multimax, iWarp, Cray YMP, etc.   

Instructors:  Allan Fisher and Thomas Gross.  There is no tuition for
attending this course.  A grant by the Cray Research Foundation enables
us to subsidize the cost of travel and/or  stay.   To apply contact
Allan Fisher, Associate Dean, School of Computer Science, Carnegie
Mellon University, Pittsburgh PA 15213, or Allan.Fisher@cs.cmu.edu.
See the paper by Fisher and Gross in the 1991 SIGCSE Technical
Symposium for more details.
