Adopting Heterogeneous Computing Modules: Experiences From a Touch Summer Workshop

Abstract

We present efforts to encourage the adoption of modules for teaching heterogeneous parallel computing through a faculty development workshop. The workshop was held remotely using a novel format to exploit the advantages of a virtual format and mitigate its disadvantages. Adoption at a wide variety of institutions showed module effectiveness and also gathered feedback leading to several module improvements. We also report on the adoptions themselves, which show the importance of supporting adaptation of the modules for diverse settings. © 2022 IEEE.
