Cilkscreen/Cilkview needs to be released as 64 bit binary (Linux)

Stephen_B_ — Thu, 12 Jan 2017 19:11:42 GMT

Hi, many modern 64 bit clusters do not provide 32 bit libraries. The cilkscreen/cilkview tools appear to be compiled as 32 bit applications and so error when running on a cluster without 32 bit libraries: /lib/ld-linux.so.2: bad ELF interpreter: No such file or directory

Can you please release both 32 bit and 64 bit binaries for cilk screen and cilk view? This seems like negligible effort on your part for a huge benefit to your users.

Thanks,

Stephen

Yes, we can release both 32

Yes, we can release both 32 and 64 bit binaries if it can improve user experience.

That would be a great help

That would be a great help since currently our students are using cilk from 2008 which was released as source before the company was bought by intel.

I have not seen the 64 bit version uploaded to https://www.cilkplus.org/download yet. Any idea when we can expect the upload?

Thanks,

Stephen
