| ABSTRACT: It has been recognized for some time that improving computing performance
by increasing clock frequency has hit physical limits and that parallelism will be a critical aspect of the future of computing. However,
undergraduate computer science curricula continue to focus on serial computing topics, perhaps because most programming languages were designed
to support that paradigm. At Wake Forest we have experimented with several ways to incorporate parallel computing topics into the undergraduate
curriculum. The most recent instructional project is based on a system that goes by the name LittleFe. LittleFe is an inexpensive, portable
computing cluster for parallel programming and distributed computing education. In this talk we will briefly review some basics of parallel computing, give an overview of parallel computing at Wake Forest, introduce the LittleFe cluster, and demonstrate how it can be used to enhance instruction in parallel and distributed computing. | ||||
