Title: An introduction to Chapel: Cray Cascade's High Productivity Language

Speaker: Brad Chamberlain, PhD, University of Washington/Cray Inc.           

Date/Time: Thursday, March 17, 2005, 10:00-11:00 am (PST)

Brief Abstract: DARPA's HPCS program has challenged the High-End Computing Industry with improving user productivity by the year 2010.  One of the ways that Cray Cascade's team is responding to this challenge is by investigating the development of a new parallel language named Chapel.  In this talk, I will describe the motivations and foundations for Chapel.  I will also introduce several Chapel concepts in detail, illustrating their use in some sample kernels written in the language.
