The authors of Cilk/Cilk++ used to have a blog with many examples of parallel programs, like this one (this is not from the blog): http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/multicore-enabling-the-n-queens-problem-using-cilk/ But many of them probably need micro-parallelism. A possible program is a parallel version of a little ray-tracer. It's very easy to parallelize it. Bye, bearophile
