Chapel language gets you a bit closer to an easier HPC programming model w/o special hardware.

Any good MOOC for this? I have a "poor man's DGX" at home (2x2080Ti with NVLink & 2xTesla K80 in peer mode, 24c CPU, 128GB ECC) and would love to have a unified access to all of this.

GPU programming is still only a proposed feature for Chapel.

I honestly feel that Chapel’s failure to embrace GPUs earlier hindered its adoption. This was the main reason/Hope I moved to it, but it hasn’t materialized.
