I think he's referring to a HPC cluster running chapel vs. C++ 
versions of programs.

However, I would argue Chapel would only win those comparisons 
when you're comparing Chapel taking advantage of all the 
different computers in the cluster vs. C++ code that is not 
taking advantage of everything it could. For instance, Chapel 
does not have good support for graphics cards as of yet. Anyway, 
Chapel does their own benchmarks against things like C+MPI. In 
some cases it's good, but it's not consistently better. The 
advantage to Chapel is its simplicity and expressiveness.
