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
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
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
