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.

This section describes the basic ideas behind the Charm++ programming model. It introduces the concept of chares, asyncronous message passing, and so on.

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.

This introduces the basic of Charm++ programming. Simple example programs are discussed along with the associated concepts of the Charm++ programming model.

This section contains example Charm++ programs (some in detail, some left as excersise to the reader).

This section presents some of the abstractions that are contained in Charm++ (reductions, and so on).

This section contains more example Charm++ programs which use one or more of the Charm++ abstractions.

This section presents some of the tools that are available to Charm++ applications.

This section presents some of the abstractions that are contained in Charm++ (reductions, and so on).

This section covers some of the functionality that is provided by the Converse layer which can be utilized by Charm++ applications, such as Converse Threads and so on.

This section presents some of the libraries and frameworks that have been built on top of the Charm++ Runtime System.

The Adaptive Message Passing Interface (AMPI) is an implementation of Message Passing Interface (MPI). AMPI allows MPI programs, with little to no modification, run on top of and utilize the features of the Charm++ Runtime System (such as virtualization, checkpointing, and so on).

From the atomically small to the galactically huge, Charm++ applications are used to do scientfic computing all over the world. Charm++ applications have been shown to scale to as many as 40,000 processors. This section will give you an idea of some of the applications that have been created using Charm++.
