- Ebuilds: 1, Testing: 5.4.6-r4 Description:
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.
