In \swift, the graph partitioning is computed using the METIS library.
The cost of each task is initially approximated via the
asymptotic cost of the task type and the number of particles involved.

Although fully asynchronous methods, due to their somewhat anarchic nature,

The real cost of using a task-based approach comes from having
to rethink the entire computation to fit the task-based setting. This may,
