Abstract
There was a great need to develop human resource with multi core software support skill set.
The gap could be filled by exposing the undergraduate (UG) students to courses like “Parallel Programming” in the curriculum.
The response and acceptance of level of students for this course, pushed us to adopt the course on High performance computing (HPC) at final Year of UG.

Preamble
Submitted Early Adopter Proposal :TCPP curriculum Initiative in June 2013 (along with Dr D. B. Kulkarni).
Accepted the proposal and awarded $ 1500 on Aug,28,2013.
Submitted a paper entitled” TCPP : Curriculum Initiative: Progress report” for 28th IEEE International Parallel & Distributed Processing Symposium
Paper accepted and invited to present poster in the IPDS-14 conference during May ,2014. by awarding $1500 as a travel support for it. Dr DBK attended and presented it.
In year , “Parallel Programming” course was introduced in third year of engineering of IT curriculum.
The main aim was to teach the students to design and implement various parallel algorithms.
On Sep 2014 Authors (along with DR DBK) submitted a paper: "Inculcating ‘Parallel Computing’ in UG curriculum” for EduHPC 14
Submission accepted and invited (team) to present
Awarded $ 1500 as a Travelling support to attend this Conference.

Course objectives
The student should be able to describe deployment of algorithm on multi-processor architecture.
To develop well-optimized threaded applications.
to improve application performance on parallel computers.
to exhibit understanding of compute-intensive applications such as image processing, computer graphics and engineering simulation.
To provide hands-on training to the software tools and techniques needed to implement effective, HPC applications on modern parallel computing systems.

Assignment lists
SR NO
Assignment 1
Create two processes using fork (assign values to array in one process) and communicate in between them using message queue. Perform array addition operation in between them. 2
Perform matrix multiplication using pthread & measure the performance. 3
Perform Pi calculation using OpenMP and measure the performance.
a) Without use of for directive (using omp_get_thread_num() routines with cyclic distribution of for loop) . b) With use of for directive & reduction clause.
c) Demonstrate false sharing concept (cache coherency). 4
Perform matrix multiplication using OpenMP & measure the performance. 5
Demonstrate nested parallelism, use of different directives and clauses
in OpenMP as given 6
Array addition (calculate local sum at each process then send it to root
process and calculate global sum) in MPI using simple MPI_Send, MPI_Recv.

14. Conclusion & Future scope
It was observed that the response and acceptance level of student for the “Parallel Programming” course was very high.
Looking into the success and responses from stakeholders (students and, faculty) , ”High Performance Computing” course is introduced at Final Year UG from academic year as an elective course.
