The workspaces are now used by the plaq+rectangle gauge action resulting in a further 2x performance improvement as measured on a 16^4 local volume for 2 nodes (16 ranks) of Crusher
Fixed const correctness on PaddedCell methods
Fixed compile issues on Crusher
Added timing breakdowns for PaddedCell::Expand and the padded implementations of the staples, visible under --log Performance
Optimized kernel for StaplePadded
Test_iwasaki_action_newstaple now repeats the calculation 10 times and reports average timings
Moved versions of the padded-cell implementations of staple and rect-staple from test code to WilsonLoops header
Added StapleAndRectStapleAll which is now called by the plaq+rectangle action class. Under the hood it uses the padded cell implementations with maximal reuse of the padded gauge links
Added test code tests/debug/Test_optimized_staple_gaugebc demonstrating equivalence of above to RectStapleUnoptimised for cconj gauge BCs
Removed optimized staple only being used for periodic gauge BCs; it is now always used
Fixed bug in padded staple code where extract was being called on the result before the GPU view was closed
Fixed compile issue with pointer cast in padded staple code
Added timing summaries of padded staple code and timing breakdown of staple implementation to Test_padded_cell_staple
Fixed const-correctness for PaddedCell and ConjugateGimpl::setDirections
Modified test code for padded-cell implementation of staple, rect-staple to use cconj BCs
