This is the Monte Carlo example associated with the "Intel® Cilk™ Plus – The Simplest Path to Parallelism" how-to article.  It shows a Monte Carlo algorithm implemented as serial loops, one using Intel Cilk Plus' cilk_for keyword to implement parallelism, one version using Intel Cilk Plus' array notations to allow vectorization for the SIMD instruction, and another version using both cilk_for and the array notations.  It demonstrates great performance with very little coding changes through both data-parallelism and task-parallelism.

Optimization Notice

Intel's compilers may or may not optimize to the same degree for non-Intel microprocessors for optimizations that are not unique to Intel microprocessors. These optimizations include SSE2, SSE3, and SSSE3 instruction sets and other optimizations. Intel does not guarantee the availability, functionality, or effectiveness of any optimization on microprocessors not manufactured by Intel. Microprocessor-dependent optimizations in this product are intended for use with Intel microprocessors. Certain optimizations not specific to Intel microarchitecture are reserved for Intel microprocessors. Please refer to the applicable product User and Reference Guides for more information regarding the specific instruction sets covered by this notice.
