Turn off TBB Warning

[erling_andersen]

Hi

I understand why get this warning:

TBB Warning: The number of workers is currently limited to 3. The request for 7 workers is ignored. Further requests for more workers will be silently ignored until the limit changes.

But I do not want TBB print it out ever. How to turn it off?

The customers of our program would get very annoyed by this warning.

Hi,

Thanks for reaching out to us.

The warning is usually caused by either tbb::task_scheduler_init or tbb::task_arena when an explicit number of threads is requested.

Could you please provide a sample reproducer to work on it from our end?

Also please provide the below details:

Os & version

Compiler used

OneTBB version is being used.

Thanks & Regards,

Noorjahan.

Below should be sufficient info. to reproduce it.

It also happens you try to set the number threads to a large number in the official OneAPI TBB

Version 2021.4.0 Build 20210924

(for Windows) supplied by you. I tried to set numworkers=128 on a 12 core Windows machine as follows:

arena = new tbb::task_arena (numworkers);

and got

TBB Warning: The number of workers is currently limited to 23. The request for 127 workers is ignored. Further requests for more workers will be silently ignored until the limit changes.

Hi,

Thanks for providing the details.

Sorry for the inconvenience caused to you during the TBB warning.

We do not have any flag that can turn off the warning as of now.

If necessary you can raise a feature request if you have priority support, else you can potentially submit a request through GitHub.

Thanks & Regards,

Noorajahn.
