    longDescription = ''
      Unified Parallel C (UPC) is an extension of the C programming language
      designed for high performance computing on large-scale parallel
      machines.The language provides a uniform programming model for both
      shared and distributed memory hardware. The programmer is presented with
      a single shared, partitioned address space, where variables may be
      directly read and written by any processor, but each variable is
      physically associated with a single processor. UPC uses a Single Program
      Multiple Data (SPMD) model of computation in which the amount of
      parallelism is fixed at program startup time, typically with a single
      thread of execution per processor.
