From: Matthias Maier Date: Thu, 6 Jan 2022 14:35:14 +0000 (-0600) Subject: disable threading in task_info.cc for oneAPI X-Git-Tag: v9.3.3~5^2~1 X-Git-Url: https://gitweb.dealii.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=5c921c9c5a9c37eb4c460ffa5a9fae0eefb81744;p=dealii.git disable threading in task_info.cc for oneAPI TBB with oneAPI API has deprecated and removed the tbb::tasks backend. With this it is no longer possible to compile the following code that builds a directed acyclic graph (DAG) of (thread parallel) tasks without a major porting effort. It turned out that such a dynamic handling of dependencies and structures is not as competitive as initially assumed. Consequently, this part of the matrix free infrastructure has seen less attention than the rest over the last years and is (presumably) rarely used. So in case of detected oneAPI backend we simply disable threading in the matrix free backend for now. --- diff --git a/doc/news/changes/minor/20220106BangerthMaier b/doc/news/changes/minor/20220106BangerthMaier index ef8c2e7982..5b75e8638a 100644 --- a/doc/news/changes/minor/20220106BangerthMaier +++ b/doc/news/changes/minor/20220106BangerthMaier @@ -1,4 +1,7 @@ Fixed: deal.II has been updated to support the new OneAPI api interface -introduced by the Intel Threading Building Blocks Library. +introduced by the Intel Threading Building Blocks Library.
