TASKYIELD

OpenMP* Fortran Compiler Directive: Specifies that the current task can be suspended at this point in favor of execution of a different task.

!$OMP TASKYIELD

A taskyield region binds to the current task region. The binding thread set of the taskyield region is the current team.

Because the TASKYIELD construct is a stand-alone directive, there are some restrictions on its placement within a program:

The TASKYIELD construct includes an explicit task scheduling point in the current task region.

Example

The following example shows use of the TASKYIELD directive. It is non-conforming, because the FLUSH, BARRIER, TASKWAIT, and TASKYIELD directives are stand-alone directives and cannot be the action statement of an IF statement or a labeled branch target.

SUBROUTINE NONCONFORMING_STANDALONE()
   INTEGER A
   A = 1
   ! the FLUSH directive must not be the action statement in an IF statement
   !
   IF (A .NE. 0) !$OMP FLUSH(A)

   ! the BARRIER directive must not be the action statement in an IF statement
   !
   IF (A .NE. 0) !$OMP BARRIER

   ! the TASKWAIT directive must not be the action statement in an IF statement
   !
   IF (A .NE. 0) !$OMP TASKWAIT
    
   ! the TASKYIELD directive must not be the action statement in an IF statement
   !
   IF (A .NE. 0) !$OMP TASKYIELD

   GOTO 100
   
   ! the FLUSH directive must not be a labeled branch target statement
   !
   100 !$OMP FLUSH(A)
   GOTO 200

   ! the BARRIER directive must not be a labeled branch target statement
   !
   200 !$OMP BARRIER
   GOTO 300

   ! the TASKWAIT directive must not be a labeled branch target statement
   !
   300 !$OMP TASKWAIT
   GOTO 400

   ! the TASKYIELD directive must not be a labeled branch target statement
   !
   400 !$OMP TASKYIELD
END SUBROUTINE

The following version of the above example is conforming because the FLUSH, BARRIER, TASKWAIT, and TASKYIELD directives are enclosed in a compound statement.

SUBROUTINE CONFORMING_STANDALONE ()
   INTEGER N
   N = 1
   IF (N .NE. 0) THEN
       !$OMP FLUSH(N)
   ENDIF
   IF (N .NE. 0) THEN
       !$OMP BARRIER
   ENDIF
   IF (N .NE. 0) THEN
       !$OMP TASKWAIT
   ENDIF
   IF (N .NE. 0) THEN
       !$OMP TASKYIELD
   ENDIF
   GOTO 100
   100 CONTINUE
   !$OMP FLUSH(N)
   GOTO 200
   200 CONTINUE
   !$OMP BARRIER
   GOTO 300
   300 CONTINUE
   !$OMP TASKWAIT
   GOTO 400
   400 CONTINUE
   !$OMP TASKYIELD
END SUBROUTINE
