In the graduate course Concurrent Object Oriented Languages, taught at York University, Toronto, students do three assignment and write a paper based on these assignments.

The objective of the first assignment is to find a nontrivial concurrent algorithm in the literature. In the second assignment, the aim is the implementation of the concurrent algorithm presented in the first assignment in Java. The focus of the third assignment is to apply tools to verify the concurrent Java program of the second assignment.

The paper summarizes an assignment on the European Football Elimination Problem which was given to my students in this year\'s lecture on parallel and distributed algorithms. The students were asked to use Intel\'s TBB 3.0 to solve the assignment. The material also contains an application named Team Planer which can be used to generate input files for testing purposes.

I have a lecture I give to college classes on parallel programming In it, I carefully explain the reasons behind the transition to many core chips and then discuss the need for design patterns to help us do the right things. I then close with the critical role that OpenCL plays in the future of many core chips.

Fault simulation for sequential circuits numbers among the highly compute-intensive tasks in the integrated circuit design process. In this paper we propose a new parallel fault simulation algorithm for multi-core workstations with common memory. We use dynamic fault grouping for each input test vector. Also each formed group is simulated in separate thread. Also we study the scalability of proposed algorithm. We report results for the ISCAS-89 benchmark circuits obtained on Intel’s MTL with 12 computational cores.
