Parallel processing exercises for undergraduate students in department of information engineering

摘要

In this paper, we describe the class-exercise of parallel processing for 3rd-gradeundergraduate students. This exercise was taken place in the latter term as a part of the lecture named "programming exercise." The goal of exercise is to enhance the programming ability of students so that they can deal with research activities effectively in the 4th-grade or the master course. In order to make the exercise work successfully, we have to provide the programming environment in which students are willing to deal with exercises with interests. So, we take place the contest named "processing time contest" in which students compete with others in the processing time of the programs. This contest can give the students the motivation of programming.
