Detailed Description

class to build a task dependency graph

The class provides essential methods to construct a task dependency graph from which tf::Taskflow and tf::Subflow are derived.

Member Function Documentation

adopt()

|

| Task tf::FlowBuilder::adopt | ( | Graph && | graph | ) | |

| inline |

creates a module task from a graph by taking over its ownership

Parameters

| graph | the graph to adopt (moved into the task) |

Returnsa Task handle to the adopted module task

Unlike tf::FlowBuilder::composed_of, which references an externally-owned tf::Taskflow, adopt transfers ownership of the given tf::Graph into the task. The graph's lifetime is managed by the executor once adopted, and the caller has no access to the moved-from graph afterward.

tf::Taskflow taskflow;

tf::Graph g;

tf::FlowBuilder{g}.emplace([]{ std::cout << "task in adopted graph\n"; });

taskflow.adopt(std::move(g)).name("adopted");

composed_of()

template<GraphLike T>

| Task tf::FlowBuilder::composed_of | ( | T & | object | ) | |

creates a module task for the target object

Template Parameters

| T | type satisfying tf::GraphLike |

Parameters

| object | a custom object that defines the method T::graph() |

Returnsa tf::Task handle

The example below demonstrates a taskflow composition using the composed_of method.

tf::Taskflow t1, t2;

t1.emplace({ std::cout << "t1"; });

// t2 is partially composed of t1

tf::Task comp = t2.composed_of(t1);

tf::Task init = t2.emplace({ std::cout << "t2"; });

init.precede(comp);

tf::FlowBuilder::composed_of

Task composed_of(T &object)

creates a module task for the target object

Definition flow_builder.hpp:1621

tf::Task

class to create a task handle over a taskflow node

Definition task.hpp:569

tf::Task::precede

Task & precede(Ts &&... tasks)

adds precedence links from this to other tasks

Definition task.hpp:1258

The taskflow object t2 is composed of another taskflow object t1, preceded by another static task init. When taskflow t2 is submitted to an executor, init will run first and then comp which spawns its definition in taskflow t1.

The target object being composed must define the method T::graph() that returns a reference to a graph object of type tf::Graph such that it can interact with the executor. For example:

// custom struct

struct MyObj {

tf::Graph graph;

MyObj() {

tf::FlowBuilder builder(graph);

tf::Task task = builder.emplace({

std::cout << "a task\n"; // static task

});

}

Graph& graph() { return graph; }

};

MyObj obj;

tf::Task comp = taskflow.composed_of(obj);

tf::Task::composed_of

Task & composed_of(T &object)

creates a module task from a taskflow

Definition task.hpp:1290

Or, simply expose the graph object and pass it to composed_of:

tf::Graph graph;

tf::FlowBuilder builder(graph);

tf::Task task = builder.emplace({

std::cout << "a task\n"; // static task

});

tf::Task comp = taskflow.composed_of(graph);

NotePlease refer to Composable Tasking for details.

|

| void tf::FlowBuilder::erase | ( | Task | task | ) | |

| inline |

removes a task from a taskflow

Parameters

| task | task to remove |

Removes a task and its input and output dependencies from the graph associated with the flow builder. If the task does not belong to the graph, nothing will happen.

tf::Task A = taskflow.emplace({ std::cout << "A"; });

tf::Task B = taskflow.emplace({ std::cout << "B"; });

tf::Task C = taskflow.emplace({ std::cout << "C"; });

exclusive_scan()

template<typename B, typename E, typename D, typename T, typename BOP>

| Task tf::FlowBuilder::exclusive_scan | ( | B | first, | | | | E | last, | | | | D | d_first, | | | | T | init, | | | | BOP | bop ) |

creates an STL-styled parallel exclusive-scan task

Template Parameters

| B | beginning iterator type | | E | ending iterator type | | D | destination iterator type | | T | initial value type | | BOP | summation operator type |

Parameters

| first | start of input range | | last | end of input range | | d_first | start of output range (may be the same as input range) | | init | initial value | | bop | function to perform summation |

Performs the cumulative sum (aka prefix sum, aka scan) of the input range and writes the result to the output range. Each element of the output range contains the running total of all earlier elements (and the initial value) using the given binary operator for summation.

This function generates an exclusive scan, meaning the N-th element of the output range is the sum of the first N-1 input elements, so the N-th input element is not included.

std::vector<int> input = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5};

taskflow.exclusive_scan(

input.begin(), input.end(), input.begin(), -1, std::plus<int>{}

);

executor.run(taskflow).wait();

// input is {-1, 0, 2, 5, 9}

Iterators can be made stateful by using std::reference_wrapper

NotePlease refer to Parallel Scan for details.

fill()

template<typename B, typename E, typename V, PartitionerLike P = DefaultPartitioner>

| Task tf::FlowBuilder::fill | ( | B | first, | | | | E | last, | | | | V | value, | | | | P | part = P() ) |

fills a range with a given value in parallel

Template Parameters

| B | iterator type | | E | iterator type | | V | value type | | P | type satisfying tf::PartitionerLike |

Parameters

| first | iterator to the beginning of the range (inclusive) | | last | iterator to the end of the range (exclusive) | | value | the value to fill the range with | | part | partitioning algorithm (default tf::DefaultPartitioner) |

Returnsa tf::Task handle

The task spawns asynchronous tasks to fill the given range [first, last) with the given value in parallel. This is equivalent to calling std::fill(first, last, value) but in parallel.

std::vector<int> vec(1000);

tf::Task task = taskflow.fill(vec.begin(), vec.end(), 42);

fill_n()

template<typename B, std::integral C, typename V, PartitionerLike P = DefaultPartitioner>

Template Parameters

| B | iterator type | | C | count type (integral) | | V | value type | | P | type satisfying tf::PartitionerLike |

Parameters

| first | iterator to the beginning of the range (inclusive) | | count | number of elements to fill | | value | the value to fill the range with | | part | partitioning algorithm (default tf::DefaultPartitioner) |

Returnsa tf::Task handle

The task spawns asynchronous tasks to fill N elements starting from first with the given value in parallel. This is equivalent to calling std::fill_n(first, count, value) but in parallel.

std::vector<int> vec(1000);

tf::Task task = taskflow.fill_n(vec.begin(), 500, 42);

find_if()

template<typename B, typename E, typename T, typename UOP, PartitionerLike P = DefaultPartitioner>

| Task tf::FlowBuilder::find_if | ( | B | first, | | | | E | last, | | | | T & | result, | | | | UOP | predicate, | | | | P | part = P() ) |

constructs a task to perform STL-styled find-if algorithm

Template Parameters

| B | beginning iterator type | | E | ending iterator type | | T | resulting iterator type | | UOP | unary predicate type | | P | partitioner type |

Parameters

| first | start of the input range | | last | end of the input range | | result | resulting iterator to the found element in the input range | | predicate | unary predicate which returns true for the required element | | part | partitioning algorithm (default tf::DefaultPartitioner) |

Returns an iterator to the first element in the range [first, last) that satisfies the given criteria (or last if there is no such iterator). This method is equivalent to the parallel execution of the following loop:

auto find_if(InputIt first, InputIt last, UnaryPredicate p) {

for (; first != last; ++first) {

if (predicate(*first)){

return first;

}

}

return last;

}

tf::FlowBuilder::find_if

Task find_if(B first, E last, T &result, UOP predicate, P part=P())

constructs a task to perform STL-styled find-if algorithm

For example, the code below find the element that satisfies the given criteria (value plus one is equal to 23) from an input range of 10 elements:

std::vector<int> input = {1, 6, 9, 10, 22, 5, 7, 8, 9, 11};

std::vector<int>::iterator result;

taskflow.find_if(

input.begin(), input.end(), [](int i){ return i+1 = 23; }, result

);

executor.run(taskflow).wait();

assert(*result == 22);

Iterators can be made stateful by using std::reference_wrapper

find_if_not()

template<typename B, typename E, typename T, typename UOP, PartitionerLike P = DefaultPartitioner>

| Task tf::FlowBuilder::find_if_not | ( | B | first, | | | | E | last, | | | | T & | result, | | | | UOP | predicate, | | | | P | part = P() ) |

constructs a task to perform STL-styled find-if-not algorithm

Template Parameters

| B | beginning iterator type | | E | ending iterator type | | T | resulting iterator type | | UOP | unary predicate type | | P | partitioner type |

Parameters

| first | start of the input range | | last | end of the input range | | result | resulting iterator to the found element in the input range | | predicate | unary predicate which returns false for the required element | | part | partitioning algorithm (default tf::DefaultPartitioner) |

Returns an iterator to the first element in the range [first, last) that satisfies the given criteria (or last if there is no such iterator). This method is equivalent to the parallel execution of the following loop:

auto find_if(InputIt first, InputIt last, UnaryPredicate p) {

for (; first != last; ++first) {

if (!predicate(*first)){

return first;

}

}

return last;

}

For example, the code below find the element that satisfies the given criteria (value is not equal to 1) from an input range of 10 elements:

std::vector<int> input = {1, 1, 1, 1, 22, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1};

std::vector<int>::iterator result;

taskflow.find_if_not(

input.begin(), input.end(), [](int i){ return i == 1; }, result

);

Iterators can be made stateful by using std::reference_wrapper

for_each()

template<typename B, typename E, typename C, PartitionerLike P = DefaultPartitioner>

| Task tf::FlowBuilder::for_each | ( | B | first, | | | | E | last, | | | | C | callable, | | | | P | part = P() ) |

constructs an STL-styled parallel-for task

Template Parameters

Parameters

| first | iterator to the beginning (inclusive) | | last | iterator to the end (exclusive) | | callable | callable object to apply to the dereferenced iterator | | part | partitioning algorithm to schedule parallel iterations |

Returnsa tf::Task handle

The task spawns asynchronous tasks that applies the callable object to each object obtained by dereferencing every iterator in the range [first, last). This method is equivalent to the parallel execution of the following loop:

for(auto itr=first; itr!=last; itr++) {

callable(*itr);

}

Iterators can be made stateful by using std::reference_wrapper The callable needs to take a single argument of the dereferenced iterator type.

NotePlease refer to Parallel Iterations for details.

for_each_by_index()

template<IndexRangesLike R, typename C, PartitionerLike P = DefaultPartitioner>

| Task tf::FlowBuilder::for_each_by_index | ( | R | range, | | | | C | callable, | | | | P | part = P() ) |

constructs a parallel-for task over a one- or multi-dimensional index range

Template Parameters

| R | type satisfying tf::IndexRangesLike (i.e., tf::IndexRanges<T, N>); for N == 1 (equivalently, R is tf::IndexRange<T>) the engine uses the 1D unraveling fast path described below, and for N > 1 it partitions the Cartesian product as described further down | | C | callable type that is invocable with a single argument of type R | | P | type satisfying tf::PartitionerLike |

Parameters

| range | index range | | callable | callable object to apply to each partitioned index range | | part | partitioning algorithm to schedule parallel iterations |

Returnsa tf::Task handle

The task spawns asynchronous tasks that partition range and invoke callable once per partition, where each partition is itself a (sub-)range of the same type R.

One-dimensional range (N == 1)

For a 1D range tf::IndexRange<T>, the task applies callable to each index subrange of [first, last) with the given step size. This is equivalent to the parallel execution of the following loop:

// case 1: step size is positive

for(auto i=first; i<last; i+=step) {

callable(i);

}

// case 2: step size is negative

for(auto i=first; i>last; i+=step) {

callable(i);

}

// [0, 17) with a step size of 2 using tf::IndexRange

tf::IndexRange<int> range(0, 17, 2);

// parallelize the sequence [0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16]

taskflow.for_each_by_index(range, [](tf::IndexRange<int> subrange) {

// iterate each index in the subrange

for(int i=subrange.begin(); i<subrange.end(); i+=subrange.step_size()) {

printf("iterate %d\n", i);

}

});

executor.run(taskflow).wait();

Definition iterator.hpp:971

Multi-dimensional ranges (N > 1)

For N > 1, the function parallelises iteration over the Cartesian product of N independent 1D ranges. The total iteration space is linearized in row-major order (last dimension varies fastest) and divided among workers according to part. Each worker receives one or more orthogonal sub-boxes and invokes callable once per sub-box.

Each sub-box is guaranteed to be a valid hyper-rectangle: every dimension of the sub-box lies entirely within the corresponding dimension of range and preserves its original step size, including negative strides. Each dimension of a tf::IndexRanges is a std::tuple<T, T, T> of (begin, end, step) accessible through dim(d), so the callable typically destructures it via structured bindings and must iterate the sub-box using the step sizes reported by each dimension:

// 3D range: depth x height x width

tf::IndexRanges<int, 3> range(

tf::IndexRange<int>(0, D, 1),

tf::IndexRange<int>(0, H, 1),

tf::IndexRange<int>(0, W, 1)

);

taskflow.for_each_by_index(range, [](const tf::IndexRanges<int, 3>& sub) {

auto [d0, d1, ds] = sub.dim(0);

auto [h0, h1, hs] = sub.dim(1);

auto [w0, w1, ws] = sub.dim(2);

for(auto d = d0; d < d1; d += ds) {

for(auto h = h0; h < h1; h += hs) {

for(auto w = w0; w < w1; w += ws) {

// process element (d, h, w)

}

}

}

});

tf::IndexRanges

class to create an N-dimensional index range of integral indices

Definition iterator.hpp:188

tf::IndexRanges::dim

const std::tuple< T, T, T > & dim(size_t d) const

returns the (begin, end, step) tuple for dimension d (read-only)

Definition iterator.hpp:297

Stateful ranges

Ranges of any rank can be made stateful by passing them through std::reference_wrapper (via std::ref). This is useful when the range bounds are not known at task-graph construction time. An upstream task must set the bounds before this task runs:

tf::IndexRanges<int, 2> range;

auto init = taskflow.emplace(&{

range.dim(0) = {0, rows, 1};

range.dim(1) = {0, cols, 1};

});

auto loop = taskflow.for_each_by_index(std::ref(range), callable);

init.precede(loop);

The loop condition inside the callable must respect the sign of each dimension's step size: use < for positive steps and > for negative steps.

NotePlease refer to Parallel Iterations for details.

for_each_index()

template<typename B, typename E, typename S, typename C, PartitionerLike P = DefaultPartitioner>

| Task tf::FlowBuilder::for_each_index | ( | B | first, | | | | E | last, | | | | S | step, | | | | C | callable, | | | | P | part = P() ) |

constructs an index-based parallel-for task

Template Parameters

| B | beginning index type (must be integral) | | E | ending index type (must be integral) | | S | step type (must be integral) | | C | callable type | | P | type satisfying tf::PartitionerLike |

Parameters

| first | index of the beginning (inclusive) | | last | index of the end (exclusive) | | step | step size | | callable | callable object to apply to each valid index | | part | partitioning algorithm to schedule parallel iterations |

Returnsa tf::Task handle

The task spawns asynchronous tasks that applies the callable object to each index in the range [first, last) with the step size. This method is equivalent to the parallel execution of the following loop:

// case 1: step size is positive

for(auto i=first; i<last; i+=step) {

callable(i);

}

// case 2: step size is negative

for(auto i=first, i>last; i+=step) {

callable(i);

}

Iterators can be made stateful by using std::reference_wrapper The callable needs to take a single argument of the integral index type.

NotePlease refer to Parallel Iterations for details.

std::vector<int> input = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5};

taskflow.inclusive_scan(

input.begin(), input.end(), input.begin(), std::plus<int>{}

merge() [1/2]

template<typename B1, typename E1, typename B2, typename E2, typename O>

| Task tf::FlowBuilder::merge | ( | B1 | first1, | | | | E1 | last1, | | | | B2 | first2, | | | | E2 | last2, | | | | O | d_first ) |

merges two sorted ranges into a single sorted output using the std::less comparator

Template Parameters

| B1 | beginning iterator type of the first range | | E1 | ending iterator type of the first range | | B2 | beginning iterator type of the second range | | E2 | ending iterator type of the second range | | O | destination iterator type |

Parameters

| first1 | iterator to the beginning of the first range (inclusive) | | last1 | iterator to the end of the first range (exclusive) | | first2 | iterator to the beginning of the second range (inclusive) | | last2 | iterator to the end of the second range (exclusive) | | d_first | iterator to the beginning of the output range |

Creates a task that merges two sorted ranges [first1, last1) and [first2, last2) into a single sorted output range beginning at d_first, using std::less as the comparator.

The algorithm partitions the output range into W equal chunks (one per worker thread) and uses the co-rank technique to independently identify each worker's corresponding sub-ranges in seq1 and seq2, then merges them in parallel with no synchronization.

Unlike for_each or find, parallel merge does not benefit from dynamic or guided partitioning because std::merge always costs O(K) for a chunk of size K regardless of data — there is no load imbalance to adapt to. The algorithm therefore always uses static equal partitioning.

NoteUndefined behavior if either input range is not sorted with respect to std::less.

Creates a task that merges two sorted ranges [first1, last1) and [first2, last2) into a single sorted output range beginning at d_first, using cmp as the comparator.

The algorithm partitions the output range into W equal chunks (one per worker thread) and uses the co-rank technique to independently identify each worker's corresponding sub-ranges in seq1 and seq2, then merges them in parallel with no synchronization.

transform_reduce() [1/2]

template<typename B, typename E, typename T, typename BOP, typename UOP, PartitionerLike P = DefaultPartitioner>

| Task tf::FlowBuilder::transform_reduce | ( | B | first, | | | | E | last, | | | | T & | init, | | | | BOP | bop, | | | | UOP | uop, | | | | P | part = P() ) |

constructs an STL-styled parallel transform-reduce task

Template Parameters

| B | beginning iterator type | | E | ending iterator type | | T | result type | | BOP | binary reducer type | | UOP | unary transformation type | | P | type satisfying tf::PartitionerLike |

Parameters

| first | iterator to the beginning (inclusive) | | last | iterator to the end (exclusive) | | init | initial value of the reduction and the storage for the reduced result | | bop | binary operator that will be applied in unspecified order to the results of uop | | uop | unary operator that will be applied to transform each element in the range to the result type | | part | partitioning algorithm to schedule parallel iterations |

Returnsa tf::Task handle

The task spawns asynchronous tasks to perform parallel reduction over init and the transformed elements in the range [first, last). The reduced result is store in init. This method is equivalent to the parallel execution of the following loop:

for(auto itr=first; itr!=last; itr++) {

init = bop(init, uop(*itr));

}

transform_reduce() [2/2]

template<typename B1, typename E1, typename B2, typename T, typename BOP_R, typename BOP_T, PartitionerLike P = DefaultPartitioner>
requires (!PartitionerLike<std::decay_t<BOP_T>>)

| Task tf::FlowBuilder::transform_reduce | ( | B1 | first1, | | | | E1 | last1, | | | | B2 | first2, | | | | T & | init, | | | | BOP_R | bop_r, | | | | BOP_T | bop_t, | | | | P | part = P() ) |

constructs an STL-styled parallel transform-reduce task

Template Parameters

| B1 | first beginning iterator type | | E1 | first ending iterator type | | B2 | second beginning iterator type | | T | result type | | BOP_R | binary reducer type | | BOP_T | binary transformation type | | P | type satisfying tf::PartitionerLike |

Parameters

| first1 | iterator to the beginning of the first range (inclusive) | | last1 | iterator to the end of the first range (exclusive) | | first2 | iterator to the beginning of the second range | | init | initial value of the reduction and the storage for the reduced result | | bop_r | binary operator that will be applied in unspecified order to the results of bop_t | | bop_t | binary operator that will be applied to transform each element in the range to the result type | | part | partitioning algorithm to schedule parallel iterations |

Returnsa tf::Task handle

The task spawns asynchronous tasks to perform parallel reduction over init and transformed elements in the range [first, last). The reduced result is store in init. This method is equivalent to the parallel execution of the following loop:

for(auto itr1=first1, itr2=first2; itr1!=last1; itr1++, itr2++) {

init = bop_r(init, bop_t(*itr1, *itr2));
