Description:
This fascinating and detailed survey provides an overview of how parallelism and multicore/manycore topics are addressed in the current curricula of 200 international universities. Readers who are interested in seeing the influence of parallelism on state of the art university curricula will find this survey a must read. The survey lists courses with titles, instructors, keywords, abstracts, and also presents a summary.

The schools in the survey were selected by the University of Karlsruhe team based on popular rankings, and the survey itself is based on lectures only from regularly offered courses that address parallelism.

The results are categorized by graduate or undergraduate levels, and the following general curriculum buckets: algorithms, architecture/hardware, programming, distributed computing, multi-core, scientific computing/HPC, and theory of parallel computing.

The as-yet incomplete report seeks updates from institutions that are either currently or not currently included. The procedure for having your academic institution included in updates to this survey is included in the document itself.

Recommended Audience

Graduate and undergraduate students of computer and programming; IT instructors; curriculum designers; steering committees; courseware developers; teaching assistants; associate and full IT faculty
