Title
An extension to improve OpenMP tasking control
Abstract
OpenMP tasks were introduced in order to support irregular parallelism. However, task runtime overhead is necessarily higher than for worksharing constructs, and can hamper performance if the tasks are too finely grained. In this paper, we address the common use case, of tasks generated in a tree-like hierarchy, with task granularity decreasing with increasing depth, and propose a new final clause to force coalescing of excessively fine grained tasks.
