[argobots-discuss] ULT scheduler switching to Tasklet

[POLYKARPOS THOMADAKIS]

Hello,

I have observed the following behavior when I have a custom scheduler that
runs a Tasklet:

I retrieve the type of the scheduler before I run the Tasklet unit popped
from the argobots pool and it is ULT which is what expected.
The scheduler runs the Tasklet, and after it's done I retrieve its type
again and it has changed to Tasklet which is unexpected.

This seems a bit weird for me and I would like to know whether this shall
be the functionality.
I also checked against an older version of argobots and I found out that
this is not happening there.

Specifically, in version 1.0a1 the function ABTI_xstream_schedule_task
<https://press3.mcs.anl.gov//wp-content/blogs.dir/231/files/argobots/doxygen/latest/d8/d4d/stream_8c.html#a0e222490fec0b8b0c5513a17ed5774b6>
saves
the state of current thread/task and recovers it after it's done executing
the Tasklet. This is removed in current version.

Thank you for your time,
Polykarpos
