ChapelExamplesAndTeachingMaterials

A repository to gather copies of teaching materials and links to example Chapel programs and other materials.

To find some Chapel code examples see https://chapel-lang.org/examples/. Here are some other examples:

• https://github.com/mppf/distributed-lsb A parallel radix sort implemented in Chapel, MPI, Lamellar+Rust, OpenSHMEM, and others.
• from various Chapel tutorials
  • https://github.com/DanilaFe/chapel-october-2023-tutorial
  • https://github.com/mstrout/ChapelForPythonProgrammersFeb2023
  • https://github.com/mstrout/ChapelForPythonProgrammersMay2023
  • https://bitbucket.org/berkeleylab/upcxx/wiki/events/CUF23
• look on GitHub for other repositories that use Chapel or fall under the Chapel topic, https://github.com/search?q=topic%3Achapel-language&type=repositories
