According my feeling is Cilk more high level than e.g. MPI. It is easier
converting an existing programm to a parallel version with Cilk than with
MPI. I assume (but have never done any concrete tests or studies) that this
high-level comes with a price. MPI is probably faster and more flexible.
Hydra runs on a distributed Cluster. As far as I know (it is a more a guess,
than knowledge) is such an architecture also not supported by Cilk.
In case of Hydra the decision was taken as follows: I asked the parallel
expert Ulf Lorenz: What library, model shall we use? "MPI". Is Cilk not an
interesting alternative? It looks quite easy to port with Cilk: "No". Okay,
lets do with MPI.
