The Chapel Parallel Programming Language

 

Chapel Performance Highlights: HPCC RA

HPCC Random Access measures a system's ability to perform concurrent updates to random locations in a large, distributed 1D array. The Chapel implementation shown here leverages the Cray Aries network's support for atomic operations, helping it scale well compared to the reference MPI implementation. Other Chapel variations perform the updates using remote gets/puts or active messages.
