Welcome to the home of the Educational Alliance for a Parallel Future. Roughly speaking, our purpose is to create the impetus and materials to facilitate the infusion of parallel and distributed computing into all levels of the computer science curriculum. This project is supported by a group of people from industry and academia.

People

• 2010 EAPF membership list
• Teach Parallel interviews with EAPF members

Portal

Open questions:

• What will the visibility be to people who aren't members of the ACM (e.g. our students, workshop participants, etc.)?
• How much if any coverage do we give to GPGPUs?
• Should it be organized by level (introductory, intermediate, advanced), or by approach (shared memory, distributed memory, hybrid shared-distributed, GPGPU), or in some other structure?

Content drafts:

• ACM Tech Pack
• HPC-U
• Others?
