Abstract
Over three decades of parallel computing, new computational
requirements and systems have steadily evolved, yet parallel
software remains notably more difficult relative to its
sequential counterpart, especially for fine-grained parallel
applications. We discuss the role of education to address
challenges posed by applications such as informatics,
scientific modeling, enterprise processing, and numerical
computation. We outline new curricula both in computational
science and in computer science. There appear to be new
directions in which graduate education in parallel computing
could be directed toward fulfilling needs in science and
industry.
