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
To the gauge implementations, added CshiftLink functions calling into the appropriate operation for the BC in a given direction.
GaugeTransform, FourierAcceleratedGaugeFixer and WilsonLoops::FieldStrength no longer implicitly assume periodic boundary conditions; instead the shifted link is obtained using CshiftLink and is aware of the gauge implementation.
Added an assert-check to ensure that the gauge fixing converges within the specified number of steps.
Added functionality to compute the timeslice averaged plaquette
Added functionality to compute the 5LI topological charge and timeslice topological charge
Added a check of the properties of the charge conjugation matrix C=-gamma_2 gamma_4 to Test_gamma
Fixed const correctness for Replicate
Modified Test_fft_gfix to support either conjugate or periodic BCs, optionally disabling Fourier-accelerated gauge fixing, and tuning of alpha using cmdline options
