The orchestration of complex algorithms demands high levels of automation to use modern hardware efficiently. Task-based programming with OpenMP 5.0 is a prominent candidate to accomplish this goal. We study OpenMP 5.0's tasking in the context of a wave equation solver (ExaHyPE) using three different architectures and runtimes. We describe several task-scheduling flaws present in currently available runtimes, demonstrate how they impact performance and show how to work around them. Finally, we propose extensions to the OpenMP standard.
