DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:ABSTRACT: Chapel is a high-level parallel programming language that implements=0A  a partitioned global address space model (PGAS).  On our poster, we=0A  will present BRAID, which enables Chapel programs to call functions=0A  and instantiate objects written in C, C++, Fortran 77 - 2008, Java=0A  and Python. Our tool creates language bindings that are=0A  binary-compatible with Babel.=0A=0A  The scientific community maintains a large amount of code written in=0A  traditional languages.  With the help of our tool, users will gain=0A  access to their existing codebase with minimal effort.  The language=0A  bindings are designed to provide a good combination of performance=0A  and flexibility (including transparent access to distributed=0A  arrays).=0A=0A  The advantages of our approach are highlighted by benchmarks that=0A  compare the performance of pure Chapel programs with that of hybrid=0A  versions that call subroutines implemented in Babel-supported=0A  languages inside of parallel loops.  We also present our vision for=0A  interoperability with other PGAS languages such as UPC and X10.
