https://community.intel.com/t5/Software-Archive/writing-a-program-with-cilk/m-p/742169#M864 Hello all<BR /><BR />I want to move from tests with cilk to an actual program .I would like from someone who has worked in a program with cilk just to explain the procedure( steps ) to follow in order to end up with a cilk program.<BR /><BR />What i want to say is in what phase of my program should i import cilk.Should i finish it first as a serial program see that everything is working as expected or should import cilk before the serial program is ready.<BR /><BR />Also i saw that i need to be extra careful with exceptions and cilk.In case that i want to use exceptions in my program should i include the exception code from the beggining is the serial program or write them with cilk.<BR /><BR />I hope i was clear enough.Im asking because i dont want to start writing code and end up with an ill program and have to start all over again.<BR /><BR />Thanks Sat, 21 Jul 2012 15:52:34 GMT giannhssdra 2012-07-21T15:52:34Z https://community.intel.com/t5/Software-Archive/writing-a-program-with-cilk/m-p/742169#M864 Hello all<BR /><BR />I want to move from tests with cilk to an actual program .I would like from someone who has worked in a program with cilk just to explain the procedure( steps ) to follow in order to end up with a cilk program.<BR /><BR />What i want to say is in what phase of my program should i import cilk.Should i finish it first as a serial program see that everything is working as expected or should import cilk before the serial program is ready.<BR /><BR />Also i saw that i need to be extra careful with exceptions and cilk.In case that i want to use exceptions in my program should i include the exception code from the beggining is the serial program or write them with cilk.<BR /><BR />I hope i was clear enough.Im asking because i dont want to start writing code and end up with an ill program and have to start all over again.<BR /><BR />Thanks Sat, 21 Jul 2012 15:52:34 GMT https://community.intel.com/t5/Software-Archive/writing-a-program-with-cilk/m-p/742169#M864 giannhssdra 2012-07-21T15:52:34Z https://community.intel.com/t5/Software-Archive/writing-a-program-with-cilk/m-p/742170#M865 <P>The Intel Cilk Plus documentation for the Intel Composer C/C++ compiler applies to both the Intel and GCC implementations. The chaptertitled<A href="http://software.intel.com/sites/products/documentation/hpc/composerxe/en-us/2011Update/cpp/lin/hh_goto.htm#cref_cls/common/cilk_convertcpp.htm">Convert a C++ Program</A> lays it out pretty plainly:</P><OL><LI>Start with a <B>correct</B> serial implementation.</LI><LI>Identify regions to be parallelized. Typically you'll use a program like VTune/Amplifier or other profiling tool to find them.</LI><LI>Add the Intel Cilk Plus keywords.</LI><LI>Run the parallelized program to test for correctness.</LI><LI>Correct any race condititions. The Cilkscreen race detector can help you find them, or you can use other tools like VTune/Amplifier.</LI></OL><P>And I'll add: Use the Cilkview scalability analyzer to see how well your application will scale as the number of processors increases.</P><P>- Barry</P> Mon, 23 Jul 2012 01:30:40 GMT https://community.intel.com/t5/Software-Archive/writing-a-program-with-cilk/m-p/742170#M865 Barry_T_Intel 2012-07-23T01:30:40Z
