How can an EE major looking to get into HPC bolster their CS foundation?

Im a soph. EE major with an interest in applied mathematics looking to get into HPC and am looking for suggestions on where to start in terms of reading up on some CS subjects in order to get relatively rigorous understanding of whats really going on. For example im interested in parallel computing, HDL's and so on but that stuff is over my head and im not sure what prerequisite would be needed. I was thinking about starting by learning C++, and or reading through SCIP.

Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.

mknod

mknod(1M)						  System Administration Commands						 mknod(1M)

NAME

       mknod - make a special file

SYNOPSIS

       mknod name b major minor

       mknod name c major minor

       mknod name p

DESCRIPTION

       mknod makes a directory entry for a special file.

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported:

       b	Create a block-type special file.

       c	Create a character-type special file.

       p	Create a FIFO (named pipe).

OPERANDS

       The following operands are supported:

       major	The major device number.

       minor	The  minor  device  number; can be either decimal or octal. The assignment of major device numbers is specific to each system. You
		must be the super-user to use this form of the command.

       name	A special file to be created.

USAGE

       See largefile(5) for the description of the behavior of mknod when encountering files greater than or equal to 2 Gbyte ( 2**31 bytes).

ATTRIBUTES

       See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:

       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
       |      ATTRIBUTE TYPE	     |	    ATTRIBUTE VALUE	   |
       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
       |Availability		     |SUNWcsu			   |
       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+

SEE ALSO

       ftp(1), in.ftpd(1M), mknod(2), symlink(2), attributes(5), largefile(5)

NOTES

       If mknod(2) is used to create a device, the major and minor device numbers are always interpreted by the kernel running on that machine.

       With the advent of physical device naming, it would be preferable to create a symbolic link to the physical name  of  the  device  (in  the
       /devices subtree) rather than using mknod.
