Today, Parallel and Distributed Computing (PDC) is omnipresent. It is encountered in all computational environments, from mobile devices, laptops, and desktops, to clusters of multicore nodes and supercomputers, usually comprising one or several coprocessors of different types (GPU, MIC, FPGA). This explains why it is vital to educate new generations of scientists and engineers about a range of PDC-related topics as we prepare them to effectively use modern computational systems. In a word, PDC-related topics must appear early and often in modern courses in Computational Science, Computer Science, and Computer Engineering.
