As my first Julia program, I had some fun debugging a Julia implementation of a parallel merge, which I had already developed in Cilk+. I thought I’d make my first post by pointing the following out to warn others developing divide and conquer algorithms with @spawn. Here’s my Cilk+ function: // p…

@spawn builds a closure for the thunk which it passes to the task. This can indeed make variable references tricky.

--track-allocation inserts allocations that don’t exist. What happens if you use the allocation profiler instead?
