FORUM ON
PARALLEL COMPUTING CURRICULA
Presentations * Demos * Panels
Friday, March 31 and Saturday, April 1, 1995
Science Center, Wellesley College
Sponsored by
NECUSE and
Wellesley College
In the last few years, courses on parallel computation have been developed and
offered in many institutions as a recognition of the growing significance of
this topic in computer science. Parallel computation curricula are still in
their infancy, however, and there is a clear need for communication and
cooperation among the faculty who teach such courses. This workshop will
attempt to address this need by bringing together parallel computing
researchers, faculty who teach parallel computing courses, and faculty who are
interested in developing parallel computing courses in their own schools. It
is expected that this workshop will create a forum that will facilitate the
exchange of ideas, syllabi, course materials, software, and experiences among
instructors of parallel computation courses. The results of this workshop will
be compiled into a report, and resources will be placed
on the Internet.
