A course in parallel processing

This paper is intended to help instructors in universities without supercomputer facilities to teach a senior- or graduate-level course on parallel processing. It outlines how supercomputing centers can be accessed, how simulation packages can be obtained, how the course and its laboratory can be organized, and recommends a set of projects, textbooks, and articles that could be used in the course.
