  2. This is what we have This is what we what to have The question is HOW

  3. WOU’s Concurrent Systems Class • Is a class designed for seniors in Software Engineering track • Is coding heavy using Visual Studio 2010/2012 and C# on multi-core PCs • Covers many PDC proposed topics such as • parallel computer organizations • parallel algorithms on PRAM • parallel programming concepts • parallel sorting algorithms – especially bitonic sort

  4. Our Emphasis Areas • Make learning parallel processing interesting • Promote very much hands-on learning • Foster independent thinkers and encourage “thinking outside of the box” • Encourage forward looking • Discuss GPU • Discuss HPC in the Cloud • Discuss new products such as Intel's Knights Corner 3120A

  5. Conclusions • Parallel processing is a very interesting area to teach because students gain new knowledge while reviewing old • Students enjoy the class very much as shown below
