Rework of WilsonFlow class
Fixed logic error in smear method where the step index was initialized to 1 rather than 0, resulting in the logged output value of tau being too large by epsilon
Previously smear_adaptive would maintain the current value of tau as a class member variable whereas smear would compute it separately; now both methods maintain the current value internally and it is updated by the evolve_step routines. Both evolve methods are now const.
smear_adaptive now also maintains the current value of epsilon internally, allowing it to be a const method and also allowing the same class instance to be reused without needing to be reset
Replaced the fixed evaluation of the plaquette energy density and plaquette topological charge during the smearing with a highly flexible general strategy where the user can add arbitrary measurements as functional objects that are evaluated at an arbitrary frequency
By default the same plaquette-based measurements are performed, but additional example functions are provided where the smearing is performed with different choices of measurement that are returned as an array for further processing
Added a method to compute the energy density using the Cloverleaf approach which has smaller discretization errors
Added a new tensor utility operation, copyLane, which allows for the copying of a single SIMD lane between two instances of the same tensor type but potentially different precisions
To LocalCoherenceLanczos, added the option to compute the high/low eval of the fine operator on every restart to aid in tuning the Chebyshev
Added Test_field_array_io which demonstrates and tests a single-file write of an arbitrary array of fields
Added Test_evec_compression which generates evecs using Lanczos and attempts to compress them using the local coherence technique
Added Test_compressed_lanczos_gparity which demonstrates the local coherence Lanczos for G-parity BCs
Added HMC main programs for the 40ID and 48ID G-parity lattices
Added storage of final true residual in mixed-prec CG and enhanced log output
Fixed const correctness of multi-shift constructor
Added a mixed precision variant of the multi-shift algorithm that uses a single precision operator and applies periodic reliable update to the residual
Added tests/solver/Test_dwf_multishift_mixedprec to test the above
Fixed local coherence lanczos using the (large!) max approx to the chebyshev eval as the scale from which to judge the quality of convergence, resulting a test that always passes
Added a method to local coherence lanczos class that returns the fine eval/evec pair
Added iterative log output to power method
Added optional disabling of the plaquette check in Nerscio to support loading old G-parity configs which have a factor of 2 error in the plaquette
G-parity Dirac op no longer allows GPBC in the time direction; instead we toggle between periodic and antiperiodic
Replaced thread_for G-parity 5D force insertion implementation with accelerator_for version capable of running on GPUs
Generalized tests/lanczos/Test_dwf_lanczos to support regular DWF as well as Gparity, with the action chosen by a command line option
Modified tests/forces/Test_dwf_gpforce,Test_gpdwf_force,Test_gpwilson_force to use GPBC a spatial direction rather than the t-direction, and antiperiodic BCs for time direction
tests/core/Test_gparity now supports using APBC in time direction using command line toggle
