Caveats

By default, compiled Chapel programs will be single-locale only.
To compile and run multi-locale Chapel programs locally:

Compile your program with:
  `chpl --comm=gasnet --comm-substrate=udp`
And then run it with:
  `chplrun-udp ./your_program_name`

To simulate GPU execution, you can compile your program with:
  `chpl --locale-model=gpu --gpu=cpu`
