What is the desired feature?

How does Dispenso compare to taskflow? https://github.com/taskflow/taskflow

Can this answer be documented in the reader?

Hi Andre. I'd be happy to do that. Do you want an overall comparison, or limited to e.g. parallel_for and task graph execution? I'm frankly not that knowledgeable about all of TaskFlow's capabilities, but a comparison with parallel_for and task graph execution should be pretty doable (just a matter of finding time to add TaskFlow to my parallel_for benchmarks)

Oh I wasn't thinking anything in depth like a benchmark, although if you ever find time that would be nice to look at. I was thinking an overview of features and potentially tradeoffs made by each library. At first glance I thought the libraries were doing very similar things, so I'm interested in getting your take on the overall difference.

graphicsMan commented 2 days ago

Definitely some overlap in functionality, and some differences. I'd like to work with more than just the task graph API before making any claims in comparison (likely I'll do this by implementing TaskFlow into some of the relevant benchmarks). I won't have time to do this until closer to the holidays, but I'd be happy to take contributions adding TaskFlow to any relevant benchmarks (I'd say the pool benchmarks, pipeline, (nested|simple)parallel_for at the least)
