AlbakiReads Editorial A curricular guide to introducing parallel and distributed computing
A curricular guide to introducing parallel and distributed computing
Edited in connection with discussions from the IEEE Technical Committee on Parallel Processing, this collection addresses the challenge of bringing concurrency and parallel computing into undergraduate computer science education. It situates the subject within a computing landscape shaped by multicore CPUs, GPUs, laptops, and mobile devices, where sequential programming alone is presented as an incomplete foundation. The book concentrates on resources and guidance for learning PDC and for integrating parallel concepts across computer science courses, while acknowledging the field’s continually changing hardware, languages, programming environments, and research directions.
Good fit for readers who enjoy
- Computer science educators developing or updating undergraduate curricula
- Students beginning parallel and distributed computing
- Programmers expanding beyond sequential programming concepts

Topics in Parallel and Distributed Computing provides resources and guidance for those learning PDC as well as those teaching students new to the discipline.
The pervasiveness of computing devices containing multicore CPUs and GPUs, including home and office PCs, laptops, and mobile devices, is making even common users dependent on parallel processing. Certainly, it is no longer sufficient for even basic programmers to acquire only the traditional sequential programming skills. The preceding trends point to the need for imparting a broad-based skill set in PDC technology.
However, the rapid changes in computing hardware platforms and devices, languages, supporting programming environments, and research advances, poses a challenge both for newcomers and seasoned computer scientists.
This edited collection has been developed over the past several years in conjunction with the IEEE technical committee on parallel processing (TCPP), which held several workshops and discussions on learning parallel computing and integrating parallel concepts into courses throughout computer science curricula.
