Abstract

We discuss possibilities for setting up an undergraduate laboratory for parallel processing and how such a laboratory, based on transputers, can be used in a course on parallel processing.

A laboratory for teaching parallel computing on parallel structures

For the effective use of a laboratory for teaching parallel processing, it is desirable to have parallel systems that can implement various parallel structures at hardware or software level. Such systems developed in our laboratories are described in ...
