Teaching Experience and Syllabus on High Performance Computing

Due to the lag of the curriculum systems and the difficulties in parallel programming, there are few national universities to provide high performance computing (HPC) or parallel computing courses for undergraduate students. With the arrival of the era of research with big data, many universities have set up their own HPC laboratory, the conditions of teaching HPC related curriculums for undergraduate students are ready. In order to train professional talents who can apply and use HPC clusters, we design a HPC course system for computer science and technology majors and graduate students. A set of HPC courses for non-computer majors is also proposed. The proposed HPC curriculum content and the number of hours are the result of teaching and experiment by ourselves.
