Transferring Parallel Processing Technology To Undergraduate Computer Science Students

Abstract

To compete successfully in a world that is becoming more international and more competitive, we must increasingly become more effective in using technology, especially in our educational institutions. It is clear that there is a strong parallel between the way current developments in information technology are significantly effecting our business organizations and the way machines helped to transform our society during the Industrial Revolution. Academic organizations must accelerate the integration of new information technology, such as parallel processing methodology into the classroom for our economic growth plans to be achieved. This paper discusses the Winthrop College Computer Science Department's methodology to increase the parallel processing content and experience in our educational offerings.
