HPC/PDC immunization in the introductory computer science sequence

Content Provider ACM Digital Library
Author Valentine, David
Abstract Immunization is the process in which we fortify our immune systems by injecting just enough of an active agent so as to cause the immune system to gear up with the appropriate antibodies. This paper discusses a successful practice of "HPC/PDC Immunization" at the CS1/CS2 level. We have found that simply exposing students to threaded versions of solutions they have already solved "fortifies" their technical expectations so they assume parallel programming will be a normal part of their educational experience. In particular we look for interesting Monte Carlo Simulation problems for students to solve conventionally. These problems already exist in the current introductory textbooks. They are CPU-bound and embarrassingly parallel. At the end of the semester, an "immunization lecture" is given, showing students that some simple-looking OpenMP pragma's can release their already working solution to run across all the available cores on their machines. Upon seeing a System Monitor report 100% of the available CPU cycles running their code, the students' "technical antibodies" are launched, and they will demand to be shown parallel programming in the later courses. This project is part of the CSinParallel.org corpus of parallel teaching materials.

About National Digital Library of India (NDLI)
NDLI logo

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
