Augmenting Massive Hands-on Labs (MHOL) in Parallel Computing Course Prathamesh Tugaonkar Department of Computer Engineering, Terna Engineering College, Mumbai India tprathamesh21@gmail.com Abstract — Teaching parallel computing is always a challenge as it requires certainly a paradigm shift in thinking from sequential learning to parallel programming. Providing plenty of exercises would work as scaffoldings when monitored and instructed by an instructor. Let learners come across the errors and try out various ways of solving the problem. Also, computing requires reasonably good architecture. Investing in online HPC (High-Performance Computing) platforms, MOOCs or clusters formation would be of good choice at an initial stage. This paper is the precursor to pedagogy, course outcomes (COs), constructivism, and available architectures that can be readily used for computation with a minimum investment for HPC or Parallel Computing course.
