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
