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
Mixed prec CG algorithm has been modified to precompute precision change workspaces
As the original Test_dwf_mixedcg_prec has been coopted to do a performance stability and reproducibility test, requiring the single-prec CG to be run 200 times, I have created a new version of Test_dwf_mixedcg_prec in the solver subdirectory that just does the mixed vs double CG test
Added a new, much faster implementation of precision change that uses (optionally) a precomputed workspace containing pointer offsets that is device resident, such that all lattice copying occurs only on the device and no host<->device transfer is required, other than the pointer table. It also avoids the need to unpack and repack the fields using explicit lane copying. When this new precisionChange is called without a workspace, one will be computed on-the-fly; however it is still considerably faster than the original implementation.
In the special case of using double2 and when the Grids are the same, calls to the new precisionChange will automatically use precisionChangeFast, such that there is a single API call for all precision changes.
Reliable update and mixed-prec multishift have been modified to precompute precision change workspaces
Renamed the original precisionChange as precisionChangeOrig
Fixed incorrect pointer offset bug in copyLane
Added a test and a benchmark for precisionChange
Added a test for reliable update CG
Added a conjugate momentum "filter" that applies a phase to each site. With sites set to 1.0 or 0.0 this acts as a mask and enables, for example, the freezing of inactive gauge links in DDHMC
Added tests/forces/Test_momentum_filter demonstrating the use of the filter to freeze boundary links
