[Chapel-education] Chapel Activities at SC11

[Brad C. <br...@cr...>]

Hi Chapel Community --



We wanted to give everyone an early heads-up about some of the Chapel-oriented activities that will be taking place at SC11.  Please feel encouraged to forward this information to colleagues and friends who might also be interested in participating in these sessions.





* Chapel Lightning Talks BOF (Wednesday, November 16th)

  http://sc11.supercomputing.org/schedule/event_detail.php?evid=bof184



  This Birds-of-a-Feather session will feature talks from members of the broader Chapel community about interesting work they're doing.



  We're currently accepting proposals for talks (due September 30th), so if you have an idea for one, send it in!  See our earlier mail for more information:

* Full-Day Chapel Tutorial (Monday, November 14th)

  http://sc11.supercomputing.org/schedule/event_detail.php?evid=tut133



  This will be a full-day Chapel tutorial, designed for programmers who are familiar with parallel computing and want to learn about how to do it in Chapel.  The tutorial will feature 4 hours of lecture and two 1-hour hands-on sessions with members of the Chapel team on-hand for Q&A.





* Half-Day "Outreach" Chapel Tutorial (Friday, November 18th)

  http://sc11.supercomputing.org/schedule/event_detail.php?evid=tut170



  As part of SC11's new Friday Outreach program, this tutorial will be a shorter and higher-level introduction to Chapel, assuming less familiarity with HPC programming models.  It will consist of 3 hours of lecture including Q&A with members of the Chapel team.





We anticipate that we'll have more events as we get closer to the date (like the second annual CHUG Happy Hour?), so stay tuned for more information,



On behalf of the Chapel team,

-Brad
