Chapel (langage)Chapel, the Cascade High Productivity Language, is a parallel programming language that was developed by Cray, and later by Hewlett Packard Enterprise which acquired Cray. It was being developed as part of the Cray Cascade project, a participant in DARPA's High Productivity Computing Systems (HPCS) program, which had the goal of increasing supercomputer productivity by 2010. It is being developed as an open source project, under version 2 of the Apache license. The Chapel compiler is written in C and C++ (C++14).
Partitioned global address spaceIn computer science, partitioned global address space (PGAS) is a parallel programming model paradigm. PGAS is typified by communication operations involving a global memory address space abstraction that is logically partitioned, where a portion is local to each process, thread, or processing element. The novelty of PGAS is that the portions of the shared memory space may have an affinity for a particular process, thereby exploiting locality of reference in order to improve performance.
Message Passing InterfaceMessage Passing Interface (MPI) est un outil pour le calcul scientifique à haute performance qui permet d'utiliser plusieurs ordinateurs. C'est une norme conçue en 1993-94 pour le passage de messages entre ordinateurs distants ou dans un ordinateur multiprocesseur. Elle est devenue de facto un standard de communication pour des nœuds exécutant des programmes parallèles sur des systèmes à mémoire distribuée. Elle définit une bibliothèque de fonctions, utilisable avec les langages C, C++ et Fortran.
