How can I install intel Cilk for C/C++ parallel programming on windows 10?
I would like to experiment with intel's Cilk extension for C/C++ parallel programming but I am having a hard time figuring out how to install it on Windows. I tried consulting the official site but I couldn't find any Windows oriented guide. Switching to Linux is not convenient right now and I would prefer to leave it as a last resort.
I also tried to get a free trial version of Parallel Studio, but apparently it does not support CILK anymore.
If someone could guide me step-by-step, I would be very grateful.
I use Code Blocks, which includes the gnu gcc compiler.

Have you tried downloading the Windows installer and running it?

@ForceBru thank you for your comment. Please correct me if I am wrong but, in case you are referring to the Intel Cilk Plus SDK, it merely provides tools which facilitate the debugging/code improvement, not the actual silk libraries, headers etc for C/C++.

(To start with, excuse me, I've never used Cilk personally).
First of all, it's deprecated:
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cilk#Obsolescence
- https://software.intel.com/en-us/forums/intel-cilk-plus/topic/745556
If you want to try it with GCC, you need to get GCC (perhaps, versions from 4.9 to 8.0; support deprecated in 7.1 and removed in 8.1) compiled with Cilk support.
And then it should work in a very simple way, e.g.:
$ gcc -fcilkplus -lcilkrts <OTHER_FLAGS> mycode1.c
$ g++ -fcilkplus -lcilkrts <OTHER_FLAGS> mycode2.cpp
(I've tried to add these flags when compiling a non-Cilk C source on my Debian 9 GNU/Linux (amd64) system, and it seems to work; libcilkrts5 package seems to get installed there along with GCC 6.3.0, by default).
Here is a list of popular binary GCC builds:
- https://gcc.gnu.org/install/binaries.html
Unfortunately, most GCC binaries for MS Windows I can find come without Cilk enabled;
e.g., I didn't find it in the following packages:
- http://codeblocks.org/downloads/binaries
- https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/files/Toolchains%20targetting%20Win32/Personal%20Builds/mingw-builds/
At least, it can be found in Cygwin (it has gcc-cilkplus & libcilkrts5 in its package list):
- https://cygwin.com/packages/package_list.html
Alternatively, you can probably try Intel C++ Compiler (no experience with that, sorry).
