About This Project

Cilk (pronounced ``silk'') is a C-based, algorithmic, multithreaded language for parallel programming developed at the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) . Cilk makes it easy to program irregular parallel applications such as chess. The Cilk programmer need not worry about protocols, job coordination, and load balancing, since they are handled automatically by Cilk's runtime system using provably efficient mechanisms. The current Cilk release is Cilk-5.4.5.
