The 146th R-CCS Cafe - part 2

Task programming has been newly introduced in OpenMP and is attracting much attention to make use of manycore efficiently. Task in OpenMP is a code block which can be executed in parallel. In OpenMP 4.0, task dependency is defined to describe data dependency between tasks. It enables to exploit parallelism in a different way from conventional OpenMP construct. In this talk, a short introductory tutorial on programming for task parallelism will be presented, and is followed by research to extend the task programming to distributed memory environment including XcalalableMP 2.0 and integration with PGAS.
