legate.core.context.Context.create_task#

Context.create_task(task_id: int, mapper_id: int = 0, manual: bool = False, launch_domain: Optional[Rect] = None) → Union[AutoTask, ManualTask]#

Creates a task. The type of the returned task is determined by the value of manual.

Parameters:

  • task_id (int) – Task id. Scoped locally within the context; i.e., different libraries can use the same task id. There must be a task implementation corresponding to the task id.

  • mapper_id (int, optional) – Id of the mapper that should determine mapping policies for the task. Used only when the library has more than one mapper.

  • manual (bool) – Indicates whether the task should be manually parallelized; if True, the task is parallelized manually by the caller.

  • launch_domain (Rect, optional) – Launch domain of the task. Ignored if the task is automatically parallelized, mandatory otherwise.

Returns:

A new task

Return type:

AutoTask or ManualTask
