Chapel hmoe page at Washington Chapel is a new parallel programming language being developed by Cray Inc. in conjunction with Caltech/JPL. Chapel is being developed as part of the Cray Cascade project, a participant in DARPA's HPCS program, which has the goal of increasing supercomputer productivity by the year 2010. Chapel strives to improve the programmability of parallel computers in general and the Cascade system in particular, by providing a higher level of expression than current parallel languages do and by improving the separation between algorithmic expression and data structure implementation details.

Chapel supports a multithreaded parallel programming model at a high level by supporting abstractions for data parallelism, task parallelism, and nested parallelism. It supports optimization for the locality of data and computation in the program via abstractions for data distribution and data-driven placement of subcomputations. It supports code reuse and generality via object-oriented concepts and generic programming features. While Chapel borrows concepts from many preceding languages, its parallel concepts are most closely based on ideas from High-Performance Fortran (HPF), ZPL, and the Cray MTA's extensions to Fortran/C.
