Abstract

Current undergraduate parallel and distributed computing course faces several problems such as neglecting the importance of the course, lack of programming practice, etc. As multi-core computers spreads, it is necessary to improve the course. The multi-core technology is included as an indispensable teaching material, parallel programming is enhanced and several practical projects are designed to help students in programming training. After the improvement, the course is more effective and suitable for the demands of the students.
