However, existing OpenMP implementations, like GCC and LLVM, face computational limitations that hinder performance, especially for large-scale tasks. This paper presents the Taskgraph framework, a novel solution that overcomes the limitations of traditional task dependency graphs (TDGs). Unlike conventional TDGs, which require costly reconstruction for dynamic program structures, the Taskgraph framework uses a taskgraph clause with a list of variables, enabling real-time adaptation without complete reconstruction. This approach significantly reduces overhead, making the Task-graph model highly efficient for tasks with minimal dependencies, offering a competitive alternative to the OpenMP thread model, and enhancing efficiency and adaptability in dynamic HPC environments. © 2025 IEEE.HPCOpenMPParallel ComputingShared MemoryTask Dependency GraphTaskgraph Framework: A Competitive Alternative to the OpenMP Thread Model
