It introduces students to several basic concepts of parallel programming and parallel algorithms and follows a \"pedagogic approach that exposes students to intellectual challenges in parallel software without enmeshing them in jargon and lower-level details of today's parallel systems\". The material from COMP 322 has also been used in related courses at other universities including Harvey Mudd College and Brigham Young University.\u0000 Currently, programming assignments in this class are manually graded by teaching assistants (TAs) for correctness, performance, style, and documentation. Students receive limited feedback as they progress through the assignment because TAs grade their homework only after the submission of a final version. Auto-graders are a common solution to this problem: they allow students to receive feedback as they work on their assignments rather than only after they have completed them. This results in higher quality submissions by allowing students to learn from mistakes as they make them, rather than days or weeks later. It also prevents the development of bad habits or mislearned knowledge by addressing mistakes early.\u0000 Web-CAT is an advanced, customizable, and comprehensive automated grading system developed at Virginia Tech. It supports many models for program grading, assessment, and feedback generation. This paper describes our work on extending Web-CAT to address the requirements of Rice University's introductory parallel programming course, thereby creating infrastructure that can be used for similar courses at other universities and in online courses. Our system is planned for deployment in Spring 2016, hence this paper focuses on the design and implementation of this system.","PeriodicalId":319305,"journal":{"name":"Workshop on Education for High Performance Computing","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130178335","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Communities of CS educators are creating educational modules, and making parallel compute environments (PCEs) available to educators who are integrating PDC concepts into their existing curriculum. Even with these resources there is a barrier to entry for students to use PCEs, namely the unfamiliar and complex system software ecosystem of modern PCEs. The OnRamp project lowers that barrier to entry for exploring PDC concepts on a variety of PCEs while also providing a path for students to learn how to be productive on the native PCE. OnRamp is designed to be a general purpose web portal for supporting the exploration of PDC concepts that harnesses the existing educational resources created by the CS education community. It coaches students through interactive modules that teach them about PDC concepts and PCEs while allowing them to launch parallel applications from day one. As students become more comfortable with running parallel applications on PCEs, OnRamp transforms into a reference guide as they graduate to using the native PCE.","PeriodicalId":319305,"journal":{"name":"Workshop on Education for High Performance Computing","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122350926","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
