In the following application example, the Quicksort algorithm is multicore-enabled using Cilk++. This application demonstrates the Cilk++ keywords and race detector, as well as the performance gain provided by using Cilk++.

In the following clip, Steve Lewin-Berlin, VP of Engineering, outlines "what's in the box?" when you get Cilk++, and what do you ship to your customers. (Components include the Cilk++ compiler, runtime system, development tools such as the race detector and performance profiler, examples & docs.)
