But anyone can develop a parallel program on a single processor machine. At some point you need a real parallel machine to tune it up though. But you can get realistic numbers for things like amount of extra work and so on, which is where I do a lot of my tuning. With Cilk you just specifiy number of processors and it doesn't really matter how many you actually have. It may be this way with other systems too, I don't know. - Don
