SBIR Phase I: Cilk++

这项小型企业创新研究(SBIR)第一阶段研究项目针对多核处理器架构的有效软件编程挑战提出了解决方案。这些体系结构在短期内将变得越来越普遍，而一种解决方案将使程序员在实施更高性能的软件应用程序时提高工作效率，从而利用多核处理器体系结构，这是非常可取的。建议的工作涉及将Cilk中基于C的软件语言扩展扩展到C。更广泛的影响包括开发更有效地利用多核处理器体系结构的计算能力的应用程序，以及提高软件开发人员的生产率。该项目的成功技术执行和后续的商业开发将对广泛的应用领域产生影响。教育和专业发展也将得到积极的援助。

This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I research project proposes a solution to the challenges of the effective software programming of multi-core processor architectures. These architectures will become increasing prevalent in the near term, and a solution that would allow increased programmer productivity in implementing higher-performance software applications to utilize multi-core processor architectures is extremely desirable. The proposed work involves extending the C-based software language extensions in Cilk to C++. The broader impacts include the development of applications which more effectively utilizes the computational power of multi-core processor architectures and enhanced productivity of software developers. The successful technical execution of this project and the follow up commercial development of this project would impact a broad range of application domains. Education and professional development would also be positively assisted.
