On Today’s Show:
Duncan McCallum, CEO of Cilk Arts. Duncan see business opportunity in the future of parallel application development and multi-core tools. He co-founded Cilk Arts to help companies take full advantage of their multi-core platforms.
The Cilk++ cross-platform solution offers the easiest, quickest, and most reliable way to maximize application performance on multicore processors. Cilk++ provides a simple set of extensions for C++, coupled with a powerful runtime system for multicore-enabled applications. Cilk++ enables rapid development, testing, and deployment of high performance multicore applications.
Cilk++ solves the two large problems facing the software industry as a result of the multicore revolution:
- Enabling today’s mainstream programmers to develop multithreaded (or parallel) applications; and
- Providing a smooth path to multicore for legacy applications that otherwise cannot easily leverage the performance capabilities of multicore processors.
With Cilk++, you can retain the serial semantics of your existing applications, use existing serial methodologies for programming, tooling, debugging, and regression testing.
