<p>It is very common for a parallel program to spawn task dependency graphs at runtime. In Taskflow, we call this <em>dynamic tasking</em>.</p><section id="CreateASubflow"><h2><a href="#CreateASubflow">Create a Subflow</a></h2><p>Dynamic tasks are those created during the execution of a graph. These tasks are spawned from a parent task and are grouped together to a <em>subflow</em> dependency graph. Taskflow has an unified interface for static and dynamic tasking. To create a subflow, emplace a callable that takes an argument of type <a href="classtf_1_1Subflow.html" class="m-doc">tf::<wbr />Subflow</a>. A <a href="classtf_1_1Subflow.html" class="m-doc">tf::<wbr />Subflow</a> object will be created and forwarded to the execution context of the task. All methods you find in <a href="classtf_1_1Taskflow.html" class="m-doc">tf::<wbr />Taskflow</a> are applicable for <a href="classtf_1_1Subflow.html" class="m-doc">tf::<wbr />Subflow</a>.</p><pre class="m-code"><span class="w"> </span><span class="mi">1</span><span class="o">:</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="n">tf</span><span class="o">::</span><span class="n">Taskflow</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="n">taskflow</span><span class="p">;</span><span class="w"></span>
