Cilk is designed for general-purpose parallel programming, +but it is especially effective for exploiting dynamic, highly +asynchronous parallelism, which can be difficult to write in +data-parallel or message-passing style. Cilk has been developed since +1994 by the Supercomputing Technologies Group at the MIT Laboratory +for Computer Science. Cilk has been used for research, teaching, and +for coding applications such as a virus shell assembly simulator and +three chess programs. |
