Introduction to Parallel Computing Course
EMSL Project ID

Abstract
Parallel computing is growing in importance in both the scientific and commercial computing worlds. Part of this growth can be attributed to changes in computer architecture such as multicore processors, which are similar to shared memory systems and are ubiquitous. The price of cluster computers is decreasing and the number of companies offering 'cluster computing on demand' appear to be growing. In addition to the availability of cluster computers, more scientific, engineering and economic research requires the use of high-performance computer systems for simulation and analysis. Despite the increased interest in high-performance computing (HPC) and the need for skilled programmers, few colleges and universities are offering courses in parallel computing to undergraduates.
