Note: The conversion process from Docs -> Wiki may result in some unusual formatting.
Who: 40 -60 people , Invite only, NSF? ACM?
small number of students
NSF cannot be present if one our goals is to create a larger proposal.
Can format so sessions related to proposal exclude NSF.
Berkeley Rep. Wen-mei Hwu(UIUC), Stanford, GaTech,
Do we need a European representative? other geos.
Breadth? Do we reach out to HBCU/minority serving inst., Community Colleges? State universities, private 4 year, etc. What role they play in the meeting: is it about the specific content or simply the perspective.
$$: Get letters of support: eg. AMD will contribute $xx if this NSF grant is approved- Send xx people covering travel and lodging. (Intel, AMD, NVIDIA- to kick in 10-15k)
NSF- $70 k
Industry- $10k ea plus people time/hrs.
When- Early January 2011, 2 day event
Where? - West coast??? SF State? Google or Yahoo? Houston, GA Tech
What:
Research, Educational projects that have been proven, new ideas for new work to do
What tools/ courseware need to be in place to actually achieve the integration/ adoption of parallelism?
What's missing? Programming Languages, tools etc.
Cross academia learnings - assembling the body of knowledge and checking for completeness.
Objectives:
Help shape NSF view on the importance of this switch. Programming languages, Operating systems space.
Possible white paper generated. Report to NSF from working groups including recommendations/ proposal for how to anchor this effort more formal.
More persistent venue for talking about these issues.
Discipline wide annual event to share knowledge and have the deep discussions to move the field forward.
Broader consensus in the community of areas of importance
Educational Alliance for a Parallel Future- International Summit on Parallelism in Undergraduate Education
The proposed International Summit on Parallelism in Undergraduate Education will be a X day series of meetings designed to bring together experts in the area of computer science education and research in order to:
1. Discuss current and future trends in CSIT curricula
2. Establish a basic-level of agreement on the integration of parallelism into standard CS curricula
3. Gather and review the top course syllabi currently addressing gaps in undergraduate education today.
