About Cilk Plus

Cilk Plus was an extension developed by Intel in 2010 to enhance C and C++ for parallel programming. It aimed to simplify the creation of high-performance applications by providing constructs for task and data parallelism. It built upon ideas from the original Cilk project at MIT, which focused on efficient multithreading.

Strengths of Cilk Plus included its simplicity in expressing parallelism, automatic load balancing, and integration with existing C and C++ code. Weaknesses involved limited support and adoption, and eventual discontinuation by Intel. Competitors included OpenMP, TBB (Threading Building Blocks), and newer parallel programming models like CUDA and OpenCL.
