		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.
