legate.core.task.task#

legate.core.task.task( func: object = None, *, tuple variants: tuple[VariantCode, ...] = DEFAULT_VARIANT_LIST, constraints: Sequence[DeferredConstraint] | None = None, options: TaskConfig | VariantOptions | None = None, bool register: bool = True, ) → Callable[[UserFunction], PyTask] | PyTask#

Convert a Python function to a Legate task.

The user may pass either a TaskConfig or VariantOptions to select the task options. If the former, the user can select the task ID of the task themselves, while additionally setting variant options via the TaskConfig.variant_options property. If the latter, then a new, unique task ID will be automatically generated.

Deferring registration is used to add additional variants to the task that have a different body. However, all variants must have identical signatures. The user must manually call PyTask.complete_registration to finish registering the task.

Parameters:

func (UserFunction) – The base user function to invoke in the task.
variants (tuple[VariantCode, ...], optional) – The list of variants for which func is applicable. Defaults to (<VariantCode.CPU: 1>,).
constraints (Sequence[DeferredConstraint], optional) – The list of constraints which are to be applied to the arguments of func, if any. Defaults to no constraints.
options (TaskConfig | VariantOptions, optional) – Either a TaskConfig or VariantOptions describing the task configuration.
register (bool, True) – Whether to immediately complete registration of the task. Deferring registration is used to add additional variants to the task that have a different body. However, all variants must have identical signatures. The user must manually call PyTask.complete_registration to finish registering the task.

Returns:

The task object.

Return type:

PyTask

Example

from legate.core import broadcast, align, VariantCode, VariantOptions
from legate.core.task import task, InputArray, OutputArray

@task
def my_basic_task(
    x: InputArray,
    y: OutputArray,
    z: tuple[int, ...] = (1, 2, 3)
 ) -> None:
    ...

@task(
    variants=(VariantCode.CPU, VariantCode.GPU),
    constraints=(align("x", "y"), broadcast("x")),
    options=VariantOptions(may_throw_exception=True)
)
def my_task_with_options(
    x: InputArray,
    y: OutputArray,
    z: tuple[int, ...] = (1, 2, 3)
) -> None:
    raise RuntimeError("Exceptional!")
