ToUCH HC Teaching Modules

This repository hosts a collection of teaching modules covering a range of topics in Heterogeneous Computing. The modules are primarily intended for undergraduate Computer Science and Computer Engineering students. They were developed as part of the NSF-funded ToUCH project.

The following document gives an overview of the modules and discusses the guiding principles and the motivation behind their design.
