Hi Chapel Community — As a reminder, CHIUW 2020 is taking place this Friday (May 22) in a free, public, online format. We hope you will be able to join us for some or all of the day's talks. Here are some details in a Q&A format: What is CHIUW? -------------- CHIUW is the annual Chapel Implementers and Users workshop, designed to bring Chapel programmers and developers together to share recent progress and results. CHIUW 2020 represents the 7th annual instance of the workshop series. Online and free you say? ------------------------ Due to Covid-19, CHIUW 2020 will be held online as a Zoom webinar, with options to listen in by phone or a few other technologies. The workshop will be open to the public and free of charge. Anyone who is interested in Chapel or parallel programming is welcome to attend, given reasonable conduct. Do I need to register? ---------------------- There is no firm requirement to register for CHIUW 2020, however there are a few reasons to consider doing so: a) It gives IPDPS (the conference with which CHIUW is associated) a sense of the level of interest in CHIUW b) It gains you access to the IPDPS online proceedings including the papers and abstracts associated with the CHIUW presentations c) It's free To register, go to the IPDPS homepage (http://www.ipdps.org/) and click the red "Register Today" button in the upper right. How do I join the workshop? --------------------------- On the morning of CHIUW 2020, the workshop website will be updated to include links to the Zoom meeting and other methods of joining. Where is the CHIUW 2020 website? -------------------------------- https://chapel-lang.org/CHIUW2020.html What will the format of CHIUW 2020 be? -------------------------------------- The bulk of the day will be made up of 10-20 minute talks from the Chapel community describing recent efforts with Chapel. Some of these talks will be given live while others will be pre-recorded and streamed over the meeting (or you can watch them simultaneously via YouTube). Each talk will wrap up with a short, live Q&A session. A highlight of the day will be a keynote talk by Bill Reus (US DOD) on "Arkouda: Chapel-Powered, Interactive Supercomputing for Data Science". The workshop will kick off with a "State of the Project" talk and wrap up with an open discussion session. To keep things moving, there won't be any formal meal breaks or extended breaks during the day, though there are scheduled pauses to deal with technical issues and give people a chance to stretch or grab a snack. What's the schedule? -------------------- The workshop kicks off at 8:30am PDT, and the full schedule is online at: https://chapel-lang.org/CHIUW2020.html Is there anything I should do to prepare? ----------------------------------------- If you're new to Chapel, or need a refresher, you might want to listen to the "Chapel 101" presentation that's already linked on the workshop website as background. How can I find out more? ------------------------ If you have any additional questions, don't hesitate to ask me. Hope to "see" you on Friday, -Brad Chamberlain, on behalf of the CHIUW organizing committee |
