TOPICS IN PARALLEL AND DISTRIBUTED COMPUTING GE...

This book introduces beginning undergraduate students of computing and computational
disciplines to modern parallel and distributed programming languages and environments 
including map-reduce  general-purpose graphics processing units (GPUs)  and graphical user
interfaces (GUI) for mobile applications. The book also guides instructors via selected essays
on what and how to introduce parallel and distributed computing topics into the undergraduate
curricula  including quality criteria for parallel algorithms and programs  scalability 
parallel performance  fault tolerance  and energy efficiency analysis. The chapters designed
for students serve as supplemental textual material for early computing core courses  which
students can use for learning and exercises. The illustrations  examples  and sequences of
smaller steps to build larger concepts are also tools that could be inserted into existing
instructor material. The chapters intended for instructors are written at a teaching level and
serve as a rigorous reference to include learning goals  advice on presentation and use of the
material  within early and advanced undergraduate courses. Since Parallel and Distributed
Computing (PDC) now permeates most computing activities  imparting a broad-based skill set in
PDC technology at various levels in the undergraduate educational fabric woven by Computer
Science (CS) and Computer Engineering (CE) programs as well as related computational
disciplines has become essential. This book and others in this series aim to address the need
for lack of suitable textbook support for integrating PDC-related topics into undergraduate
courses  especially in the early curriculum. The chapters are aligned with the curricular
guidelines promulgated by the NSF IEEE-TCPP Curriculum Initiative on Parallel and Distributed
Computing for CS and CE students and with the CS2013 ACM IEEE Computer Science Curricula.
