Extractions: 5 October 2004 The Commission denies the applications by Silk FM Broadcasting Ltd. to amend the broadcasting licence for the radio programming undertaking CILK-FM Kelowna, in order to add FM transmitters at Penticton and Vernon. The Commission received two applications from Silk FM Broadcasting Ltd. (Silk FM), to amend the broadcasting licence for the radio programming undertaking CILK-FM Kelowna, in order to operate an FM transmitter at Penticton at 101.7 MHz (channel 269B) with an average effective radiated power of 1,200 watts, and an FM transmitter at Vernon at 101.7 MHz (channel 269B) with an average effective radiated power of 240 watts. The applicant indicated that approval of its proposals would result in more choice for listeners in Penticton and Vernon. In addition, the applicant indicated that the proposed transmitters would provide service to persons who reside in Penticton and Vernon, but commute daily to Kelowna for work. Silk FM also indicated that approval of its proposals would address problems with reception of CILK-FM due to mountainous terrain.

Extractions: Reid Barton Chris Joerg Dan Adkins Martin Rinard Harald Prokop Don Dailey Matteo Frigo Charles Leiserson The judges felt the Cilk team made such a strong showing for several reasons: Expertise: The Cilk project has a lot of experience in game tournaments, having competed strongly in chess tournaments before. Parallelism: Cilk is a language designed for parallelism, and was able to exploit the tournament machine's four processors quite efficiently. The Cilk entry was the only entry that employed a really sophisticated parallel search algorithm. What the Cilk Pousse team delivered was a brutal search engine, that pumped out immense numbers of moves per second, similar to the strategies that produce championship chess programs. Organisation: At eight people, the Cilk Pousse team was the largest single team to enter, being comprised of two professors, one research engineer, one sysadmin, and four students (some graduate, some undergraduate, and even one local high-school student). ...and of course, general excellence and superior hacking.

Extractions: Description: C-based language for multithreaded parallel programming 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. 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.

Extractions: The Cilk Project Download Introduction Online Manual ... Papers Cilk is an algorithmic multithreaded language. The philosophy behind Cilk is that a programmer should concentrate on structuring the program to expose parallelism and exploit locality, leaving Cilk's runtime system with the responsibility of scheduling the computation to run efficiently on a given platform. Thus, the Cilk runtime system takes care of details like load balancing, paging, and communication protocols. Unlike other multithreaded languages, however, Cilk is algorithmic in that the runtime system guarantees efficient and predictable performance. To give you an idea of how simple it is to write parallel programs in Cilk, here is a Cilk implementation of the familiar recursive Fibonacci program in which the recursive calls are executed in parallel: cilk spawn fib (n-1); y = spawn fib (n-2); sync Notice that if you elide the three Cilk keywords (shown in red , you obtain a C program, called the serial elision or C elision of the Cilk program.

Extractions: Cilk is a general-purpose programming language designed for multi-threaded parallel programming Advanced parallelism with Cilk: Inlets ... edit The major principle behind the design of the Cilk language is that the programmer should be responsible for exposing the parallelism, identifying elements that can safely be executed in parallel; it should then be left to the run-time environment, particularly the scheduler , to decide during execution how to actually divide the work between processors. It is because these responsibilities are separated that a Cilk program can run without rewriting on any number of processors, including one. The Cilk language is based on ANSI C , with the addition of just a handful of Cilk-specific keywords. When the Cilk keywords are removed from Cilk source code, the result is a valid C program, called the serial elision (or C elision ) of the full Cilk program. Cilk is a clean extension of C and the serial elision of any Cilk program is always a valid serial implementation in C of the semantics of the parallel Cilk program. The first Cilk keyword is in fact cilk , which identifies a function which is written in Cilk. Since Cilk procedures can be called from C code (though not vice-versa) this keyword is needed to distinguish Cilk code from C code.

Porting Cilk To Windows NT cilk provides the programmer with two basic tools the compiler (cilk2c) and cilk2c translates a cilk program into C code that is then compiled with gcc http://zoo.cs.yale.edu/classes/cs490/98-99b/kataria.rupinder.mkataria/cilk.html
Extractions: Porting Cilk to Windows NT Rupinder Kataria Advisor: Volker Strumpen Yale University Abstract Cilk is a language for multithreaded parallel programming based on ANSI C. Cilk has been implemented on many Unix platforms already. The goal of this project is to port Cilk to Windows NT, an operating system with growing popularity. NTs ease of installation and use, along with the large number of applications available provides an extensive potential user base for Cilk. In addition, this project will contribute to the effort of integrating Unix and NT environments. 1. Introduction Cilk facilitates multithreaded parallel programming by providing a runtime system that is responsible for scheduling computations in a provably efficient manner. Programmers can focus on exploiting parallelism in their code. Cilk provides the programmer with two basic tools: the compiler (cilk2c) and the runtime system. Cilk2c translates a Cilk program into C code that is then compiled with gcc and linked with the runtime system [1]. The initial port of Cilk to NT was done under Cygwin [6], which provides a library to map a subset of Unix API (Application Programmers Interface) on top of the existing Win32 API. Cilk itself is a highly portable language; the few platform specific functionalities are localized to a few files in the runtime system and can be addressed through the use of Cygwin. The API provided by Cygwin allowed the runtime system to be ported to NT without extensive source code changes.

Extractions: Next: The Cilk language and Up: Adaptive and Reliable Previous: Adaptive and Reliable A strong case argues for the use of networks of workstations (NOWs) as parallel-computation platforms [ ], and Cilk-NOW ] is a software system that has been designed and implemented to run parallel programs easily and efficiently on networks of UNIX workstations. Implemented entirely in user-level software on top of UNIX, Cilk-NOW is a runtime system for a functional subset of the parallel Cilk language [ ], a multithreaded extension of C. Applications written in Cilk include graphics rendering, backtrack search, protein folding [ ], and the *Socrates chess program [ ] which won second prize at the 1995 ICCA World Computer Chess Championship running on the 1824-node Intel Paragon at Sandia National Labs. Like all runtime systems for Cilk, Cilk-NOW schedules threads using a provably efficient algorithm based on the technique of random "work stealing" [ ] in which processors with no threads steal threads from victims chosen at random. With this algorithm, Cilk delivers performance that is guaranteed to be both efficient and predictable [ ]. In addition to thread scheduling, Cilk-NOW also performs
