0/ The OpenCilk project is based on the Tapir/LLVM compiler and the Cheetah runtime library 1/ You have two options to install OpenCilk: a/ Download a pre-compiled binary b/ Compile from the source Both ways would come with a clang/clang++ compiler; you would use this specific compiler for your compiling your cilk program. 2/ You can find the binaries or source from the following link https://cilk.mit.edu/download/ 3/ For Windows users, you can use a virtual machine or the embedded Linux system on Window (WSL) 4/ If you DO NOT have an LLVM/Clang compiler on your machine you can export the bin directory to your PATH. Then the compiler command would be clang/clang++ for C/C++ 5/ If you already have an LLVM/Clang, you may want to resolve the conflict with your local compiler: Create an alias or give it a specific name like ``Clang-10'' 6/ When compiling your cilk program, remember to include and use the -fopencilk option for the compiler 7/ the tarball opencilk_examples.tgz has a number of examples, including the famous ones: DnC_MM, fibonacci, pmergesort, etc. For each of them, there are two subdirectories called "cilkplus" and "opencilk" You should use the second one. But, if for some reason, you also a cilkplus compiler, you can use the first one
