Abstract

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
