We are excited to announce ChapelCon ’24! ChapelCon will be June 5-7, free, and virtual. Join us for hands-on Chapel and Arkouda tutorials, an Open Lab and Office Hours with Chapel developers, submitted talks and demos, and more! #chapelcon chapel-lang.org/ChapelCon24.ht…

This Friday is the main day for CHIUW 2023—the 10th annual Chapel Implementers and Users Workshop—featuring: * a keynote by Paul Hargrove (LBNL) * 15 talks from the Chapel community * our annual state of the project talk Details & (free) registration at: chapel-lang.org/CHIUW2023.html

A highlight of last week's 1.30 release is that Chapel's emerging support for unified GPU programming is increasingly competitive with hand-coded CUDA, while @AMD GPU support has reached feature parity with NVIDIA for single-locale codes. For more info: chapel-lang.org/blog/posts/ann…

If you were unable to attend CHIUW 2022—the 9th annual Chapel Implementers and Users Workshop—you can read Michelle and Engin's summary of it on the @HPE_DevCom blog: developer.hpe.com/blog/summary-f…

One of the most exciting things from our project's past year has been how quickly our GPU sub-team has gotten Chapel's features for parallelism and locality targeting GPUs. Watch Engin Kayraklioglu's CHIUW 2022 talk for a great introduction to this effort: youtube.com/watch?v=2n9w5z…

CHIUW 2022, the 9th annual Chapel Implementers and Users Workshop, will be taking place tomorrow in a free, Zoom-based format. We've got a great series of talks lined up, so if you're interested in productive parallel programming, join us! chapel-lang.org/CHIUW2022.html

CHIUW 2022—the 9th annual Chapel Implementers and Users Workshop—is happening one week from today in a free, online format. The program is now online and features a great slate of topics, so take a look and join us for any that are of interest to you: chapel-lang.org/CHIUW2022.html

The Computer Language Benchmarks Game has just been updated to reflect our recent Chapel 1.26.0 release, Ubuntu 22.04, and some new codes. Chapel and Julia continue to own the lower-left of our code size x performance plots while C dominates in raw perf. benchmarksgame-team.pages.debian.net/benchmarksgame…

The Chapel Parallel Programming Language Team (@ChapelLanguage) is hiring a one-year visiting scholar! See the job ad at chapel-lang.org/jobs.html. Working remotely is possible. Feel free to DM any questions.

The most underrated and overlooked programming language, in my opinion, is @ChapelLanguage. Primarily designed for supercomputing, it's always as fast or faster than any other language I've used, and it's very feature-rich with respect to abstract data structures.

Happy anniversary, Cray! This year marks the 50th since the company’s founding. Join us in celebrating the ongoing story as we’ll be posting lots of fun facts, trivia, and memories through #SC22. Use #50YearsOfCray to tag yours too!

Version 1.26.0 of the Chapel parallel programming language was released yesterday! This release features new package modules, enhanced LLVM and GPU support, and many improvements to language and library interfaces. Download at: chapel-lang.org/download.html

The Chapel programming language team at HPE is hiring a DevOps engineer! Working remotely or in Seattle are both possible. Salary range is $105-$160K. Details available at: chapel-lang.org/jobs.html

If are interested in our recent support for compiling Chapel to GPUs and were unable to attend #SIAMPP22, check out Engin Kayraklioglu's talk slides, which provide details about the code generation approach we're using. chapel-lang.org/presentations/…

@Jas_Hughes I looked at the snippet for a good while to see what is so special about the syntax. Then I saw the replies. No harm done, though, @julialanguage enjoys flattery! :)

I really like #julialang function definition syntax for occurring in the order I think of things: 1. I'm writing a function! 2. With a name that describes its tasks! 3. And it needs these arguments! plus, you can copy/paste `FunctionName(arg1, arg2)` and re-use it elsewhere.

For those who were unable to attend #SIAMPP22, the slides from our mini-symposium—Achieving Productivity at Scale with Chapel in User Applications—are now online: chapel-lang.org/presentations.…

This Saturday (Feb 26th), I will give a talk at #SIAMPP22 about native #GPU programming support we are adding in @ChapelLanguage. Do you think GPUs are fast but difficult to program? You may find our approach refreshing! Full session info: meetings.siam.org/sess/dsp_progr…

In one other Chapel-related #SIAMPP22 talk next week, Engin Kayraklioglu will give an overview of how Chapel's features for locality and parallelism are being used to generate code for GPUs. Hope to see you there! meetings.siam.org/sess/dsp_progr…

@notypes I am a member of the @ChapelLanguage team at @HPE_Cray. I joined the team after getting my PhD and my day-to-day is somewhat research-y. I would be happy to talk!

The Chapel community has a number of talks coming up, including a 'Chapel Applications' mini-symposium and 'Chapel for GPUs' talk at #SIAMPP22. But first, talks for Ookami users and the Northwest C++ Users' Group. For details, see chapel-lang.org/events.html
