Intel is organizing a webinar series on multicore curriculum.

Since at least 1995, urgent voices have been calling for the introduction of parallel programming into the undergraduate curriculum, yet most academic institutions are still teaching sequential programming. This is true despite the fact that all major manufacturers have moved to a many core architecture, and these current generation CPU, GPU, or ASIC designs cannot be efficiently programmed without knowledge of parallel programming. What will this curriculum look like, and how will it best support the next generation of engineers and computer scientists?
You can discuss and debate this question in a webinar series led by members of the Academic Community. Registration is required to attend this event.
