• download the release
• browse sample programs
• view other resources to learn how to trivially write distributed programs like this:

 use CyclicDist; // use the Cyclic distribution library config const n = 100; // use --n=<val> when executing to override this default forall i in {1..n} dmapped Cyclic(startIdx=1) do writeln("Hello from iteration ", i, " of ", n, " running on node ", here.id);
