YAXT Version 0.12.0 available

Improvements to composability of data transfer primitives and customizable bucket generator interface
Added by Thomas Jahns about 7 hours ago

This release

adds count and offset to each exchanger message, simplifying the MPI datatypes in turn,
adds an interface to iterate over the extended messages
improves multi-threaded operations for exchangers
improve code-sharing between exchangers by inserting an actual base class
experimental: exposes the xt_exchanger family of classes (Fortran: USE xt_exchanger_abstract, C: #include <xt/xt_exchanger.h>)
adds a configurable mode to put exchangers into synchronous operation mode for improved fault isolation
adds documentation for the now public exchanger hierarchy
make the alternate datatype generator previously only available with compile-time macro definition COMPACT_DT a run-time customizable part
add a limit for the size of the MPI datatype cache, needed large, sparse indexed access into huge local arrays
various improvements to the test suite for new bugs in new compilers (nvfortran mostly) and old bugs in old compilers (ifort mostly)
improve the build tools for robustness
refines and extends the configurable bucket generator interface
permits suppressing the use of pthreads locking (user then needs to ensure creation of index lists or redists is non-concurrent via other means)
various minor optimizations in handling of MPI datatypes
