Abstract: If you
have never done parallel programming before\, this beginner-friendly cours
e will guide you through the basic concepts of writing data-parallel progr
ams for both shared- and distributed-memory systems. Chapel is a modern pr
ogramming language offering high-level\, easy-to-use abstractions for task
and data parallelism. Its intuitive syntax makes it an excellent choice f
or novice HPC users learning parallel programming. Chapel supports a wide
range of parallel hardware – from multicore processors and multi-node cl
usters to GPUs – using consistent syntax and concepts across all levels
of hardware parallelism. This course begins with Chapel fundamentals\, the
n focuses on data parallelism through two numerical examples: one embarras
singly parallel and one tightly coupled. Towards the end we’ll look at G
PU programming with Chapel.
