If you are using Taskflow, please cite the following paper we published at 2022 IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems (TPDS):

- Tsung-Wei Huang, Dian-Lun Lin, Chun-Xun Lin, and Yibo Lin, "Taskflow: A Lightweight Parallel and Heterogeneous Task Graph Computing System," IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems (TPDS), vol. 33, no. 6, pp. 1303-1320, June 2022

The paper describes the design principles, programming model, and performance characteristics of Taskflow as a lightweight system for task-parallel programming.
