namespace hpx

Functions

template<typename Action, typename Target, typename ...Ts>
decltype(auto) dataflow(Action &&action, Target &&target, Ts&&... ts)#

The distributed implementation of hpx::dataflow can be used by giving an action instance as argument instead of a function, and also by providing another argument with the locality ID or the target ID. The action executes asynchronously.

Note

Its behavior is similar to hpx::async with the exception that if one of the arguments is a future, then hpx::dataflow will wait for the future to be ready to launch the thread.

Template Parameters

  • Action – The type of action instance

  • Target – The type of target where the action should be executed

  • Ts – The type of any additional arguments

Parameters

  • action – The action instance to be executed

  • target – The target where the action should be executed

  • ts – Additional arguments

Returns

hpx::future referring to the shared state created by this call to hpx::dataflow
