There is a growing demand for software developers who have experience writing parallel programs rather than just "parallelizing" sequential systems as computer hardware gets more and more parallel. In order to develop the skills of future software engineers, it is crucial to teach pupils parallelism in elementary computer science courses. We searched the Scopus database for articles on "teaching parallel and distributed computing" and "parallel programming," published in English between 2008 and 2019. 26 papers were included in the study after quality review. As a result, a lab course using the C++ programming language and MPI library serves as the primary teaching tool for parallel and distributed computing.

“…The Java Development Kit (JDK) includes a large set of libraries that developers can use to quickly develop applications. Another interesting argument in favor of Java is its large pool of developers -the main reason is that Java is taught as one of the main languages in many universities around the world [27]. The disadvantages of learning parallel and distributed computing in the Java programming language can be attributed to the much slower speed of running parallel programs than when used to develop the C++ programming language.…”

As computer hardware becomes more and more parallel, there is a need for software engineers who are experienced in developing parallel programs, not only by “parallelizing” sequential designs. Teach students a parallelism in elementary courses in computer science this is a very important step towards building the competencies of future software engineers. We have conducted research on “teaching parallel and distributed computing” and “parallel programming” publications in the Scopus database, published in English between 2008 and 2019. After quality assessment, 26 articles were included in the analysis. As a result, the main tool for teaching parallel and distributed computing is a lab course with a C++ programming language and MPI library.

Abstract. Providing parallel programming education is an emerging challenge, requires teaching methods to promote the learning process and also an elaborate infrastructure to provide a suitable environment for practical laboratory classes. Also, conventional teaching methods are used to share knowledge in the area, sometimes not being appropriate for this purpose. Effective learning methods, software configuration facility and the necessary laboratory infrastructure are needed. This paper presents a survey of recent research and challenges about parallel programming teaching. The main contribution of this work is to group state of the art in this context, highlighting the teaching practices available in the literature, to determine consolidated initiatives in development.Resumo. Fornecer educação em programação paralelaé um desafio emergente, requer métodos de ensino para promover o processo de aprendizagem e também uma infraestrutura para fornecer um ambiente adequado para as aulas de laboratório. Além disso, os métodos de ensino convencionais que são utilizados para compartilhar o conhecimento,às vezes não são adequados para esse propósito. Métodos de aprendizagem eficazes, configuração de software e uma infraestrutura de laboratório são requisitos necessários. Assim, este artigo apresenta uma revisão sistemática sobre o ensino de programação paralela. A principal contribuição deste trabalhoé reunir o estado da arte neste contexto, destacando as principais práticas de ensino disponíveis na literatura. IntroduçãoO ensino de Computação de Alto Desempenho ou HPC (High-Performance Computing), ao contrário de outros tipos de computação, aborda desafios e condições especiais. O ensino abrange grandes quantidades de informações, problemas computacionais e a compreensão das plataformas suportadas, onde os alunos precisam de capacidades e habilidades para operar esses ambientes especiais [Shamsi et al. 2015].[ Zarza et al. 2012] destacam a importância de HPC como uma ferramenta valiosa para a sociedade. HPC fornece o desenvolvimento de uma grande quantidade de aplicativos e serviços. Também abordam que o estudo de arquiteturas paralelasé uma das questões-chave para estudantes acadêmicos de computação, devido ao uso geral de computadores em diversas disciplinas.A Programação Paralela, uma parte de HPC, tornou-se ativa e intrínsecaàs tecnologias atualmente disponíveis, principalmente considerando os distintos modelos de programação provenientes dessas diferentes arquiteturas paralelas.
