Sharing Teaching Material for Concurrent Computing

This area is intended to facilitate community collaboration on course material related to Concurrent Computing. Lots of Universities are using Sun's T2000 multi-threaded multi-core machine in teaching about Concurrent Programming, and the community is growing. Hopefully this can be a place to share resources. If you already have publicly available content, please feel free to point to it here. If you'd like public space to share your content, please feel free to create pages on this TWiki.

This page is organized by institution, and under each institution please find information about classes, material highlighted to offer, and material used from others. In this way we can make material available and give credit where credit is due.

Any content placed on this TWiki will be available under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 United States License. Please include this paragraph on any sub-pages of this TWiki that you create.
