Chapel aims to vastly improve programmability over=0Acurrent parallel programming models while supporting performance=0Aand portability at least as good as today’s technologies. Though=0Abeing developed by Cray, Chapel is portable, open-source software=0Athat supports a wide spectrum of platforms including=0Adesktops (Mac, Linux, and Windows), UNIX-based commodity=0Aclusters, and custom systems by Cray, IBM, and SGI. This tutorial=0Awill provide an in-depth introduction to Chapel, from context and=0Amotivation to a detailed description of Chapel concepts via=0Alecture and sample computations. We will give live=0Ademonstrations of Chapel to interactively demonstrate features=0Adescribed in the lectures.
