Install: brew install taskflow

About:
Taskflow is a C++ library that enables parallel and heterogeneous task programming with a focus on performance and ease of use. It provides a dynamic tasking graph model to express dependencies between tasks, allowing for efficient scheduling on multi-core processors and GPUs. Its modern C++ API simplifies the development of complex parallel algorithms compared to traditional threading primitives.

Key Features:

Dynamic Task Graph Scheduling
GPU CUDA and SYCL Support
Taskflow Graph Algorithms (Parallel Loop, Reduce, Sort)
Composable Taskflows (Subflow)

Use Cases:

High-performance computing (HPC) applications requiring parallel execution
Game development for physics engines and asset loading
Data processing pipelines with complex dependency graphs

Alternatives:

Intel TBB – Taskflow offers a more modern C++ API and explicit task graph visualization, whereas TBB is a mature industry standard with a focus on algorithm templates.
OpenMP – Taskflow provides dynamic runtime scheduling and GPU support natively, while OpenMP relies on compiler directives and is often limited to loop parallelism.
