Consider an Applications-First Approach for PDC
Abstrak
I propose an applications-first approach for adjusting how parallel and distributed computing concepts are incorporated into curricula. By focusing on practical applications that leverage parallelism and distributed systems, this approach aims to make these complex topics more accessible and engaging for both CS and non-CS majors. An applications-first approach demonstrates the advantages of parallel and distributed computing in solving real-world problems while building practical experience and skills before delving into theoretical concepts. This could potentially broaden the appeal and retention of these concepts. I highlight some example application-centric efforts, and conclude with questions that could be investigated in the service of exploring applications-first approaches.
