In this short paper we report on student programming competition results by students from the Computer Science Department (COSC) of Okanagan College (OC) and discuss the achieved results from an educational point of view. We found that some…
With the advent of multi-core processors and their fast expansion, it is quite clear that {\em parallel computing} is now a genuine requirement in Computer Science and Engineering (and related) curriculum. In addition to the pervasiveness…
Concurrent and parallel programming (CPP) is an increasingly important subject in Computer Science Education. However, the conceptual shift from sequential programming is notoriously difficult to make. Currently, relatively little research…
I propose an applications-first approach for adjusting how parallel and distributed computing concepts are incorporated into curricula. By focusing on practical applications that leverage parallelism and distributed systems, this approach…
The modern engineering landscape increasingly requires a range of skills to successfully integrate complex systems. Project-based learning is used to help students build professional skills. However, it is typically applied to small teams…
Computer science is also an experimental science. This is particularly the case for parallel computing, which is in a total state of flux, and where experiments are necessary to substantiate, complement, and challenge theoretical modeling…
Parallel computation is widely employed in scientific researches, engineering activities and product development. Parallel program writing itself is not always a simple task depending on problems solved. Large-scale scientific computing,…
This paper presents an overview of the "Applied Parallel Computing" course taught to final year Software Engineering undergraduate students in Spring 2014 at NUST, Pakistan. The main objective of the course was to introduce practical…
Multi-core and highly-connected architectures have become ubiquitous, and this has brought renewed interest in language-based approaches to the exploitation of parallelism. Since its inception, logic programming has been recognized as a…
The ubiquity of technology in our daily lives and the economic stability of the technology sector in recent years, especially in areas with a computer science footing, has led to an increase in computer science enrollment in many parts of…
Parallel and Distributed Computing (PDC) is a critical yet conceptually challenging area of the undergraduate computer science curriculum. While students often encounter these concepts in theory, few gain exposure to experience in real…
As computer systems become more and more complex, software and tools lag more and more behind. This is especially true for scientific software that often demands high performance, and thus needs to take advantage of parallelisms, memory…
We introduce our experiment of research-oriented teaching mainly in Nanjing University and Tsinghua University, China. The great population and enrollment in China makes it worth to concern. It lasts 20 years and involves thousands of…
These lecture notes are designed to accompany an imaginary, virtual, undergraduate, one or two semester course on fundamentals of Parallel Computing as well as to serve as background and reference for graduate courses on High-Performance…
Undergraduates are unlikely to even consider graduate research in Computer Science if they do not know what Computer Science research is. Many programs aimed at introducing undergraduate to research are structured like graduate research…
Large Language Models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT have quickly become part of student programmers' toolkits, whether allowed by instructors or not. This paper examines how introductory programming (CS1) students integrate LLMs into their…
We discuss the use of both MPI and OpenMP in the teaching of senior undergraduate and junior graduate classes in parallel programming. We briefly introduce the OpenMP standard and discuss why we have chosen to use it in parallel programming…
Several studies indicate that attracting students to research careers requires to engage them from early undergraduate years. Following this paradigm, our Engineering School has developed an undergraduate research program that allows…
Real-time systems applications usually consist of a set of concurrent activities with timing-related properties. Developing these applications requires programming paradigms that can effectively handle the specification of concurrent…
We introduce an object-oriented framework for parallel programming, which is based on the observation that programming objects can be naturally interpreted as processes. A parallel program consists of a collection of persistent processes…
