    Summary: Language for multithreaded parallel programming based on ANSI C
    Description: 
    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. Using Cilk, our group has developed three
    world-class chess programs, StarTech, *Socrates, and Cilkchess. Cilk
    provides an effective platform for programming dense and sparse
    numerical algorithms, such as matrix factorization and N-body
    simulations, and we are working on other types of applications. Unlike
    many other multithreaded programming systems, 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.
