System Requirements

To use Taskflow v3.1.0, you need a compiler that supports C++17:

  • GNU C++ Compiler at least v8.4 with -std=c++17
  • Clang C++ Compiler at least v6.0 with -std=c++17
  • Microsoft Visual Studio at least v19.27 with /std:c++17
  • AppleClang Xcode Version at least v12.0 with -std=c++17
  • Nvidia CUDA Toolkit and Compiler (nvcc) at least v11.1 with -std=c++17
  • Intel C++ Compiler at least v19.0.1 with -std=c++17
  • Intel DPC++ Clang Compiler at least v13.0.0 with -std=c++17 and SYCL20

Taskflow works on Linux, Windows, and Mac OS X.

New Features

Taskflow Core

  • optimized task node storage by using std::unique_ptr for semaphores
  • merged the execution flow of cudaFlow and cudaFlow capturer

cudaFlow

  • optimized tf::cudaRoundRobinCapturing through an event-pruning heuristic

  • optimized the default block size used in cudaFlow algorithms

  • added tf::cudaFlow::clear() to clean up a cudaFlow

  • added tf::cudaFlow::num_tasks() to query the task count in a cudaFlow

  • added tf::cudaTask::num_dependents() to query the dependent count in a cudaTask

  • added tf::cudaFlowCapturer::clear() to clean up a cudaFlow capturer

  • added tf::cudaFlowCapturer::num_tasks() to query the task count in a cudaFlow capturer

  • added tf::cudaFlowCapturer rebind methods:

    • tf::cudaFlowCapturer::rebind_single_task
    • tf::cudaFlowCapturer::rebind_for_each
    • tf::cudaFlowCapturer::rebind_for_each_index
    • tf::cudaFlowCapturer::rebind_transform
    • tf::cudaFlowCapturer::rebind_reduce
    • tf::cudaFlowCapturer::rebind_uninitialized_reduce

  • added tf::cudaFlow update methods:

    • tf::cudaFlow::update_for_each
    • tf::cudaFlow::update_for_each_index
    • tf::cudaFlow::update_transform
    • tf::cudaFlow::update_reduce
    • tf::cudaFlow::update_uninitialized_reduce

  • added cudaFlow examples:

    • parallel reduction (examples/cuda/cuda_reduce.cu)
    • parallel transform (examples/cuda/cuda_transform.cu)
    • rebind (examples/cuda/cuda_rebind.cu)

Utilities

  • resolved the compiler warning in serializer caused by constexpr if
  • resolved the compiler error of nvcc when parsin variadic namespace

Taskflow Profiler (TFProf)

No update for TFProf in this release.

Bug Fixes

  • fixed the macro expansion issue with MSVC on TF_CUDA_CHECK
  • fixed the serializer compile error (#288)
  • fixed the tf::cudaTask::type bug in mixing host and empty task types
