“…Senior undergraduate/graduate parallel processing courses based upon supercomputers have been described in [5]. Using a supercomputer located at a supercomputer center is certainly a possibility for us as a supercomputer center is located nearby (North Carolina supercomputer center in Raleigh).…”

“…This in itself generated some interesting aspects regarding faculty cooperation and parallel computing equipment at each site. Second, the course is centered around the use of networked workstations rather than supercomputers or simple transputers as done previously [5] [6], to take advantage of widely available and accepted message passing and shared memory software tools.…”

-In this paper, we describe an undergraduate parallel programming course based upon networked workstations. The course is offered on the NC-REN (North Carolina Research and Education Network), a private telecommunications network which interconnects universities in North Carolina and provides multiway, face-to-face video and audio communications. Course materials are described and made available in a new textbook. Topics are divided into basic techniques and applications. In addition, extensive home page materials are described.

“…Problems that arise in teaching a course in parallel programming include the difficulty in having access to supercomputing resources and the time it takes to teach their effective use, as stated in [8]. Wilkinson and Allen discourage the use of resources of supercomputing centers [9] because the technicalities of supercomputers may be too much for an undergraduate course.…”

A Grid Portal for an Undergraduate Parallel Programming Course

et al. 2005

This paper describes an experience of designing and implementing a portal to support transparent remote access to supercomputing facilities to students enrolled in an undergraduate parallel programming course. As these facilities are heterogeneous, are located at different sites, and belong to different institutions, grid computing technologies have been used to overcome these issues. The result is a grid portal based on a modular and easily extensible software architecture that provides a uniform and user-friendly interface for students to work on their programming lab assignments.
