A state-wide senior parallel programming course

In this paper, we describe an undergraduate parallel programming course based upon networked workstations. The course is offered on the North Carolina Research and Education Network (NC-REN), 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.
