In this paper we analyze the teaching and learning of parallel processing through performance analysis using a software tool called Prober. This tool is a functional and performance analyzer of parallel programs that we proposed and developed during an undergraduate research project. Our teaching and learning approach consists of a practical class where students receive explanations about some concepts of parallel processing and the use of the tool. They do some oriented and simple performance tests on parallel programs and analyze their results using Prober as a single aid tool. Finally, students answer a self-assessment questionnaire about their formation, their knowledge of parallel processing concepts and also about the usability of Prober. Our main goal is to show that students can learn concepts of parallel processing in a clearer, faster and more efficient way using our approach.

In asynchronous wind micropower generation, two aspects must be associated for maximum generated power: turbine alignment and load control. An algorithm to simultaneously control the load current and the wind turbine shaft direction is presented aiming at maximized use of the available wind energy. This algorithm allows the tracking for the maximum power, without any direct measurement of both wind intensity and/or wind direction. With this purpose, two additional subroutines were written as a part of the main program of control, based on an heuristic forward chaining method of artificial intelligence, known as hill climbing. Both subroutines are executed alternatively and they share the same data acquisition circuits of the conventional control system. A DC motor is used to properly yaw the turbine while a power converter copes with the load current. As a result one has a simplified, robust and efficient control for use in small wind energy systems.

BENNETT, RAWSONUSN Chief of Naval ResearchTHE AUTHOR was born on June 16
1905. in Chicago Illinois. He was appointed to the U. S. Naval Academy Annapolis. Maryland from California in 1923. Graduated and commissioned Ensign on June 2 1921 he subsequently advanced to the rank of Captain to date from March 20 1945. In December 1955 he was appointed Rear Admiral to date from January 3 1956. Following graduation in 1927 he joined the USS California flagship of the Battle Fleet. Later in 1928. he was assigned communication duty on the staff of Commander Battle Fleet serving as such until August 1930. In November of that year he reported on board the USS Isabel for duty on Asiatic Station and in October 1932 was transferred to the USS Rochester. He completed his Asiatic tour of duty in the USS Houston in 1933. Detached from this vessel he returned to the United States and joined the USS Idaho. After 7 years of sea duty he returned to Annapolis Maryland for postgraduate instruction in radio (electronic) engineering. He completed the course in May 1936 and was assigned to the University of California Berkeley for additional postgraduate work receiving the Master of Science degree in Electrical Engineering after which he reported aboard the USS Concord. Continuing sea duty he joined the staff of Commander Destroyer Division Nineteen (later redesignated Destroyer Fifty) in April 1938 and served as Radio and Sound Officer until June 1941. Starting in July 1939 he set up the technical program of the first fleet Sound School at San Diego California. In July 1941 he reported to the Bureau of Ships Navy Department Washington D.C. There he served first as Head of the Underwater Sound Design Section of the Radio Division and later Head of Electronics Design Division from 1943 to 1946. He was awarded the Legion of Merit “for exceptionally meritorious conduct” during this tour of duty. Upon leaving the Bureau of Ships in August 1946 he reported as Director of the U. S. Navy Electronics Laboratory Point Loma
