[Edu-sig] Parallel computing

[John Zelle]

We've had good luck in the past using pypar (http://code.google.com/p/pypar/) in a college scientific computing class for students who have had a single programming course in Python. At that time (2 years ago), it seemed to be the simplest entry point for Python-based MPI type programs.

Subject: [Edu-sig] Parallel computing

Hi, I recently finished setting up a Beowulf Cluster using some Linux machines at schools.
Some students eagerly helped out.

We'd like to start studying some parallel computing on this system.
I already studied it on C but never on Python. My students regularly study Python, so I'd like to ask you if you taught some Python Parallel Computing to High School students and where to start from.

Thank you very much
