Feature/limited particles output

Berenger Bramas requested to merge feature/limited-particles-output into develop

Add control over the number of processes involved in the particles output. The best values for a config/cluster can be written in a bashrc or a bath job (controlled by env variables):

        const size_t MinBytesPerProcess = env_utils::GetValue<size_t>("BFPS_PO_MIN_BYTES", 32 * 1024 * 1024); // Default 32MB
        const size_t ChunkBytes = env_utils::GetValue<size_t>("BFPS_PO_CHUNK_BYTES", 8 * 1024 * 1024); // Default 8MB
        const int MaxProcessesInvolved = std::min(nb_processes, env_utils::GetValue<int>("BFPS_PO_MAX_PROCESSES", 128));
  • The MinBytesPerProcess ensure that a process involved write at least this amount of data.
  • The ChunkBytes ensure that the size to write is of the form MinBytesPerProcess + k * ChunkBytes
  • MaxProcessesInvolved is a hard limit to the number of processes involved in the output
