The tasks created with `@threads` are [sticky](https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/blob/a25f128a8fc38eb86f1067316509838d29c8c007/base/threadingconstructs.jl#L31), so, yes, they don’t migrate between Julia threads. You might want to take a look at: [Julia 1.7 says it can switch the thread your task is on. How often does that happen, and how can it be disabled? - #4 by carstenbauer](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/julia-1-7-says-it-can-switch-the-thread-your-task-is-on-how-often-does-that-happen-and-how-can-it-be-disabled/75373/4).

(The mentioned corner case doesn’t apply to `@threads for` as the linked documentation mentions itself in the blue note box.)
