There are a few POV issues - the article runs more like a press release than a statement of what the software does and how. There is also quite a lot missing, such as why this form of parallelism is more practical than other forms. I've added a link to the original, to make it more about Cilk and less about Cilk Arts, but it's going to take some cleaning as best as I can tell.

Could someone compare Cilk to OpenMP, to a beginner they seem to do mostly the same things? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.27.71.155 (talk) 20:56, 13 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

External links do not work as cilk.com redirects to intel website now. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.90.55.97 (talk) 07:11, 20 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There is no coverage of Cilk or Cilk Plus non-Intel architectures. It is not stated whether the GCC implementation supports more than Intel targets, but since the GCC documentation does not appear to limit this to Intel. There should be some critical discussion of this as a "portable" solution, since multi-core ARM and PowerPC (to name a few) processors are becoming common in embedded and mobile applications. If it is an Intel-only solution, it should be described as such.Filker0 (talk) 19:38, 19 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This paragraph is partly incorrect: "Cilk++ was proprietary software. Like its predecessor, it was implemented as a Cilk-to-C++ compiler. It supported the Microsoft and GNU compilers." The Windows version translated to C++ (with some additional processing after compilation after compilation with MSVC). The Linux version used a modified C++ front end to gcc and did not translate to C++. Vox Sciurorum (talk) 23:10, 21 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
