P²RUTOR: A Programming Tutor for Parallel Programming

We present an enhanced parallel programming tutor (P ² RUTOR) for parallel programming assignment evaluation system. This is based on an existing programming tutor, PRUTOR, which is a comprehensive programming interface and evaluation system. Automatic evaluation of programming assignments for large enrollment courses is helpful for the instructors of introductory programming courses. Evaluation of parallel coding assignments (on several compute nodes) of large enrollment courses on introductory parallel programming is more challenging. Thus a comprehensive interface to develop, test and execute MPI C programs is useful for instructors who teach distributed memory programming related courses.
