As I understand it, that is where the strength of Cilk+ lies. It does not force parallelisation, just suggests it. The decision to actually spawn parallel is decided at runtime depending on the load of the other cores. /David. _______________________________________________ NumPy-Discussion mailing list [email protected] http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
