Cilk Plus is an extension to the C and C++ programming languages, designed for multithreaded parallel computing.

On July 31, 2009, Cilk Arts, producers of the Cilk++ programming language, announced that its products and engineering team were now part of Intel Corp. Intel and Cilk Arts integrated and advanced the technology further resulting in a September 2010 release of Intel Cilk Plus.[1][2] Intel Cilk Plus adopts simplifications, proposed by Cilk Arts in Cilk++, to eliminate the need for several of the original Cilk keywords while adding the ability to spawn functions and to deal with variables involved in reduction operations. Intel Cilk Plus differs from Cilk and Cilk++ by adding array extensions, being incorporated in a commercial compiler (from Intel), and compatibility with existing debuggers.[3] Intel has stated its desire to refine Cilk Plus and to enable it to be implemented by other compilers to gain industry wide adoption.[4] In November 2010, Intel published a language specification and an ABI specification to enable other compilers to implement Cilk Plus and to optionally utilize the Intel runtime.[5]

The Cilk Plus C and C++ extensions have also been implemented in the GCC compiler.[6] The implementation is currently maintained by Intel and has not been included yet in any officially released GCC version.

As of August 2011, Intel has announced [7] that it is maintaining Cilk Plus as a branch of GCC 4.7. The runtime is available dual-licenced, including BSD-3.

Cilk Plus offers a number of improvements over OpenMP, for example guaranteed maximum memory usage scaling.[8]
