Chapel morning session

1. Instructor / helpers / course introduction
2. Introduction to Chapel (download the PDF slides)
3. Distribute usernames and passwords
4. Hands-on on the cluster:
   4.1 let’s try to log in to the training cluster
   4.2 let’s try loading single-locale Chapel and compiling a simple code
   4.3 let’s write a makefile for compiling Chapel codes
   4.4 let’s submit a serial job script to run Chapel on a compute node
5. Review the program for self-study:
   5.1 build step-by-step a serial heat diffusion solver
   5.2 task parallelism in shared-memory

Start with the Basic language features page. Next go to Task parallelism and try to go as far as you can in that page before the mid-day session. I suggest skipping “Parallelizing the heat transfer equation” subsection at the end to save time.

Try to do all exercises in the lessons. The solutions are posted at the end of each page: please try not to look at them while working on the problems.
