Introduction to Argobots wrappers

For convenience, Thallium provides C++ wrappers to all the Argobots functions and structures. We strongly encourage users to familiarize themselves with Argobots to understand how to use execution streams, threads, tasks, pools, etc.

The following code initializes Argobots through Thallium.

#include <thallium.hpp>

namespace tl = thallium;

int main(int argc, char** argv) {
    // the constructor of the tl::abt object initializes Argobots
    tl::abt a;
    // its destructor finalizes it
    return 0;
}

Note

If you are creating a thallium::engine, this engine already initializes Argobots in its constructor and finalizes it in its destructor. The code above should therefore be used either if Thallium is used only for its Argobots wrappers (no RPC definition), or if there is a need to initialize Argobots before initializing the engine (for example when creating custom Argobots scheduler and pools that the engine will then use).
