The triuvirate: parallel programming, parallel ar- chitecture and parallel algorithms is the mantra for education and research in parallel computing [2]. These three are necessary subareas that will prepare an undergraduate srudent to pursue studies in computational science or to develop software systems that exploit parallelism to solve NP-hard problems. We have been developing a curriculum that will take UG students in their freshmen year up through the masters level in parallel computing. The goal is to prepare students for the future of computing and to eventually institute a doctoral program in computational science or computer science.
