Cilk is a language for multithreaded parallel programming based on
|
||
|
|
ANSI C. 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.
