• Cilk: an efficient multithreaded runtime system
  R. Blumofe, Christopher F. Joerg, B. Kuszmaul · ACM SIGPLAN Symposium on Principles & Practice of Parallel Programming · 1995

  This paper shows that on real and synthetic applications, the “work” and “critical path” of a Cilk computation can be used to accurately model performance, and proves that for the class of “fully strict” (well-structured) programs, the Cilk scheduler achieves space, time and communication bounds all within a constant factor of optimal.
