Executing multithreaded programs efficiently
This thesis presents the theory, design, and implementation of Cilk (pronounced “silk”) and Cilk-NOW. Cilk is a C-based language and portable runtime system for programming and executing multithreaded parallel programs. Cilk-NOW is an implementation of the Cilk runtime system that transparently manages resources for parallel programs running on a network of workstations. Cilk is built around a ...
متن کاملSilkRoad: A Multithreaded Runtime System with Software Distributed Shared Memory for SMP Clusters
Multithreaded parallel system with software Distributed Shared Memory (DSM) is an attractive direction in cluster computing. In these systems, distributing workloads and keeping the shared memory operations efficient are critical issues. Distributed Cilk (Cilk 5.1) is a multithreaded runtime system for SMP clusters with the support of divide-and-conquer programming paradigm. However, there is n...
متن کاملCost Model: Work, Span and Parallelism
In this class, we will overview various parallel programming technology developed. One of the technology we will examine closely is Cilk, a C/C++ based concurrency platform. Before we overview the development and implementation of Cilk, we shall first overview a brief history of Cilk technology to account for where the major concepts originate. Cilk technology has developed and evolved over mor...
متن کاملProgramming Parallel Applications in
Cilk (pronounced \silk") is a C-based language for multithreaded parallel programming. Cilk makes it easy to program irregular parallel applications, especially as compared with data-parallel or message-passing programming systems. A Cilk programmer need not worry about protocols and load balancing, which are handled by Cilk's provably eecient runtime system. Many regular and irregular Cilk app...
متن کاملAdaptive and Reliable Parallel Computing on Networks of Workstations
In this paper, we present the design of Cilk-NOW, a runtime system that adaptively and reliably executes functional Cilk programs in parallel on a network of UNIX workstations. Cilk (pronounced “silk”) is a parallel multithreaded extension of the C language, and all Cilk runtime systems employ a provably efficient threadscheduling algorithm. Cilk-NOW is such a runtime system, and in addition, C...
