Helping Faculty Teach Software Performance Engineering
Abstract
Over the academic year 2022–23, we discussed the teaching of software performance engineering with more than a dozen faculty across North America and beyond. Our outreach was centered on research-focused faculty with an existing interest in this course material. These discussions revealed an enthusiasm for making software performance engineering a more prominent part of a curriculum for computer scientists and engineers. Here, we discuss how MIT’s longstanding efforts in this area may serve as a launching point for community development of a software performance engineering curriculum, challenges in and solutions for providing the necessary infrastructure to universities, and future directions.
