We describe a method for introducing parallel algorithms in undergraduate computer science courses, by having the students play the role of processors and act out the algorithms. In doing this, students will see the power of concurrent computation and begin to “think parallel.” We present a number of algorithms that can be acted out, together with suggestions as to how they may be implemented. Students will see that efficient solutions to problems can be vastly different in the parallel (many steps at a time) case than in the usual serial (one step at a time) case. The type of algorithms we consider are those in which the processors are homogeneous and synchronous. The measure of efficiency is the count of the number of time steps that are needed to conclude the algorithm for a given size input. |
