"After joining the Intel Academic community and reviewing the Multi-Core Courseware content, I started to look at ways on how to integrate current Parallelism knowledge to my courses at University of Southern California. Now we have several courses from both Computer Science and Electrical Engineering Departments that showcase the importance of Parallelism and Multi-Core threading…

"Undergraduate education is typically light on threading and scheduling, especially when it gets down to the nuts and bolts of coding for multithreaded programs. The addition of multi-core environments into the mix is amplifying this shortcoming in undergraduate programs. I have worked directly with Intel engineers to tailor curriculum to my undergraduate students in a way that will captivate their interest and...."

"Our Faculty of Computer and Information Technology here at Jordan Univ. of Science and Technology is delighted to be recognized for joining the Intel Academic Community program. As a leading university in the region, we feel it is important to continuously give our students cutting edge development curriculum to prepare them for the future. We plan to utilize software development tools from Intel in our curriculum. We also believe that it is important for our professors to learn from industry experts which will make our parallel programming and visual computing curriculum best in class."

There is no doubt that Intel the Multi-core Curriculum Initiative is really an interesting and useful project. Russian Universities have a real need in getting support from IT companies in areas like Computer Science and modern technologies.

The ISC training session left a very positive impression. I liked the educational materials, their presentation and the organization of the training. I already plan to implement components from this training in existing educational courses at my university in order to enhance these courses. I consider that the Intel Multi-core Curriculum Initiative program brings significant benefits to Russian educational system.

There is no doubt that the Intel Multi-core Curriculum Initiative brings benefits to Russian educational system. Unfortunately, university faculties don’t have enough time to develop themselves and improve their professional competence in the areas of programming and new computer architectures development. I plan to introduce new knowledge I’ve got on training into already existing educational courses. I consider that this program and Academic Community as well assist faculties in the establishment of collaboration between universities.

The Bonch-Bruevich Saint-Petersburg State University of Telecommunications

In my opinion, the Intel Multi-core Curriculum Initiative program is very interesting and unconditionally essential for further IT development not only in Russia but in the whole world as well. The training has enabled me to teach parallel programming far more effective, based on real code examples. I plan to introduce the new material for Windows and Linux OS starting next year.

The Bonch-Bruevich Saint-Petersburg State University of Telecommunications

The Intel Multi-core Curriculum Initiative program stimulates faculties for modification of already existing educational courses and even for development of the new ones. Thus, students have a possibility to get new knowledge. This program also facilitates the collaborations between universities and helps faculties to work jointly on common scientific interests areas.

Mirolubov Alexander; laboratory assistant, department of informational systems and technologies

From my perspective, the Intel Multi-core Curriculum Initiative Program is a part of the common HPC paradigm. I am in agreement that such trainings are very useful for Academia. For me and my faculty it would be more productive, if Intel Fortran would be added to the course.

'The Importance of integrating Multi-Core Programming into school's Curriculum'; July, 2008

Technical University Munich

In this video testimonial Professor Dr. Arndt Bode, Vice-president of Technical University Munich explains how they integrated parallel programming into the school’s curriculum and how important it is for schools to realize that the ‘free lunch is over’. He shares with us details on an interesting project his school is working on around the design of optimal pinnings of threads in multi-threaded applications and finally discusses the difficulty in predicting the evolution of multi-core architectures and stresses the need for close collaboration between academia and industry in this field.

Multi-Core Programming Workshop in Costa Rica, June, 2008

Universidad de Costa Rica Escuela de Ciencias de la Computatión e Informatión

El curso MultiCore Programming estuvo muy caliente. Yo les agradezco que me hayan tomado en cuenta y espero incorporar pronto lo aprendido en mi labor académica. Muchas gracias.

Multi-Core Programming for Academia Faculty Training in Thailand, March 25 – 27, 2008

 

The training made me discover that new Intel multi-core has a lot to offer. Therefore, next generation programmers must learn how to design faster software that maximizes the power of multi-core architecture.
Our students will benefit greatly from what we learned and practiced in this course. This software industry will also benefit through our students.
Dr. Putchong Uthayopas
Assistant Professor, Kasetsart University (Bangkok, Thailand)
Director – Thai National Grid Center, SIPA, Ministry of ICT, Thailand.

Attending the training gives me more insight in the features & resources available, and how to use them towards an efficient used of Intel multi-core processors.
I certainly will encourage my colleagues to integrate some of the tools into various courses (approx. 150 students). I believe the tools can help students to bring the theoretical background into practice.
Ms. Warawan Marurngsith
Lecturer - Thammasat University (Bangkok, Thailand)

Dublin City University, "It was very insightful to get an inside-Intel view of programming for multi-core architectures. I saw OpenMP* in action for the first time and I thought it was a good way to get easy threading in the right circumstances. I will definitely include it in my M.Sc. course! I was very impressed by the support tools (Vtune™ Performance Analyzer, Intel® Thread Checker, Intel® Thread profiler) and would like to include these in my course as well. I enjoyed seeing the software run on a multicore architecture, and observing the speedup.
Prof. Joseph Morris
October 2006

College of Computing, Georgia Institute of Technology “The change to multi-core means a re-emphasis on concurrency and parallelism… It's an interesting challenge for us to educate students in that direction. Whether they build gaming applications, vision applications, robotics applications or traditional applications in the high performance domain, they have to always think parallel. That renewed emphasis in understanding parallelism is important to impart to our students.”
Professor Karsten Schwan
September 2006

ETH Zurich, March 2006 "The course gave me a good idea of the impact of multi-core architectures on application development and was very useful to see the wide range of tools available and to discuss how to use these tools in teaching."

University of Cambridge, April, 2006 "The Multi-core Programming for Academia Course offered by Intel® Software College provides a hands-on introduction to Intel's threading methodologies, tools and techniques for developing highly optimized threaded applications exploiting the advantages of multi-core platforms to their full potential."
