is it possible to set @turbo thread = true/false at runtime?

[alex-s-gardner]

I have a function that uses @turbo and has a threaded kwarg

function f(a, b; threaded = true)
c = similar(a)
@turbo thread = true for i = eachindex(a)
     c[i] = a[i]+b[i]
end
end

is it possible to pass the function kwarg threaded to @turbo to set thread ?

Currently no, but you could add support for this.

You could even take a naive approach, of doing the translation automatically from

@turbo thread=b for ...

to

if b && Threads.nthreads()>1
   @turbo thread=true for ...
else
   @turbo thread=false for ...
end

if you want to get more creative, you could try and integrate with the runtime threading profitability check LV already does based on the number of loop iterations and expected cost.

Thanks @chriselrod … I’ve coded up a solution for now but would like to see if I can create a PR later this summer
