| Cilk is a language for multithreaded parallel programming based on |
| ANSI C. Cilk is especially effective for exploiting dynamic, highly |
| asynchronous parallelism, which can be difficult to write in data-parallel or |
| message-passing style. Cilk provides an effective platform for |
| programming dense and sparse numerical algorithms, such as matrix |
| factorization and N-body simulations. Cilk is algorithmic, in that |
| the runtime system employs a scheduler that allows the performance |
| of programs to be estimated accurately based on abstract complexity |
| measures. |
