Teaching and Learning Technology Programme (TLTP)
	      Courseware in High Performance Computing

Aims of the Project:

To produce Hypertext Courseware for the teaching of High Performance
Computing at HEI sites, which may have only limited or even no local
Parallel Processing facilities.

By High Performance Computing we mean all aspects of parallelism :-

      Data Parallel, Paradigms, Algorithms, Languages such as Fortran
      90, HPF, Occam, Message Passing and MPI.  Architectures such as
      SIMD, MIMD, NCube, Transputer etc.

The initial proposal sought funds to produce the material in a form
suitable for viewing on PC, Macintosh, UNIX/X Terminal platforms.

Simulation software was to be incorporated to allow comparisons of
different architectures and the study of scaling effects with larger
numbers of processors.

Networked access to local facilities, where these were available, was
to be incorporated so that parallel code could be written and tested
locally.  Examples envisaged included : occam on a Meiko, Parallel C
on an Ncube and Fortran on a Maspar.
