Tutorial

Preface
This section describes what knowledge the reader is assumed to have, what knowledge the reader will gain by working through this tutorial, a description of the tutorial itself, and so on.
Introduction to Charm++ Concepts
This section describes the basic ideas behind the Charm++ programming model. It introduces the concept of chares, asynchronous message passing, and so on.
Introduction to the Charm++ Runtime System
This section describes the Charm++ Runtime System and what role it plays during the execution of a Charm++ application. The various software layers (i.e. machine layer, Converse, and so on) along with what role they play will be discussed.
Basics of Charm++ Programming
This introduces the basic of Charm++ programming. Simple example programs are discussed along with the associated concepts of the Charm++ programming model.
Components of a Charm++ Program
This section introduces the basic components that make up a Charm++ program (chare classes, entry methods, .ci files, and so on). It also introduces some of the Charm++ tools that are use to compile a Charm++ program.
Basic "Hello World" Program (single processor, single chare)
This example "Hello World" program represents the simplest Charm++ program that can be written. The source code is given and key ideas are pointed out to help the reader understand the basics of a Charm++ program.
Array "Hello World": A Slightly More Advanced "Hello World" Program (multiple processor, multiple chares)
This example "Hello World" program is slightly more advanced than the basic one presented previously. This program creates multiple chare objects in the form of a chare array.
Broadcast "Hello World": A Parallel "Hello World" Program (multiple processor, multiple chares)
...
