Hi Brian --
There is no support for GPUs in the official Chapel releases or on the
master branch at GitHub. Albert Sidelnik (formerly UIUC, now Nvidia) did
some work on porting Chapel to GPUs a few years back which was published
at IPDPS and the paper is available here:
http://polaris.cs.uiuc.edu/~asideln2/ipdps12.pdf
A few people have tried to resurrect this work from time-to-time and catch
it up to the current release, but I'm not aware that any efforts have been
terribly successful. Adding support for GPUs is on our TODO list, but not
at the top at present.
Thanks for your interest in Chapel, and we' d be curious to know more
about your demo as it approaches,
-Brad
