Who are the students though? I'd assume that parallel computing is mostly interesting for university-grade "aspiring scientists", which is reinforced by the example software (a parallel 2D Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics(SPH) code and a parallel Mandelbrot set race).
Do we assume that 18+ folks are only interested in parallel programming if it's assembled of shiny pipes?
Doesn’t seem like anyone assumes that. I’m interested in this stuff, but having it visual and physical like that would spark my interest even more. Seems like a no brainer that it makes students learn without studying a text book
