OneTBB: Scheduling a task for future execution

[mlr11]

Hi,

I am porting an application to try to take advantage of some of the TBB features.  Still somewhat new to TBB but excited about what it can do for me.

I have a set of tasks that I need to execute and can't proceed until they have all completed.

I currently use a task_group for that and it is working as expected (much faster than my original code).  

The execution of those tasks ends up creating new tasks to be executed but they can't be executed until the 1st set is 100% done.  At any point in times that can be many thousands of tasks to be executed in a single group and this process can be repeated for millions of times (task creating tasks).

Is there a way to queue a task without having it execute until my application is ready for it (the previous set of tasks is done)?

My application is similar to a pipeline with an unknown number of stages (determined at runtime and will likely always be in the millions).

Any ideas on how I could proceed?

Thanks!

Hi,

Thanks for reaching out to us.

You can try using the task::enqueue function to queue a task. You can also provide priority with this function to tasks.

Please refer to ProTBB Textbook: page No: 377

Thanks & Regards,

Sorry.   I was out of town for the past 2 weeks.

I thought that task:enqueue is now obsolete.  Did I miss something?

I find the ProTBB book misguiding since it is written for the older version of TBB.
