| - | **Tasks** are the OpenMP mechanism for irregular parallelism. `parallel for` only handles loops with a known iteration count. For work like recursive algorithms, tree traversals, and producer-consumer patterns, `#pragma omp task` packages a unit of work that any idle thread in the current team can pick up and execute. Tasks are created inside a `single` region so only one thread generates them while the rest execute them. | + | **Tasks** are the OpenMP mechanism for irregular parallelism. `parallel for` only handles loops with a known iteration count. |
