Description

This file contains the declaration of ThreadForceBuffer and ThreadedForceBuffer.

These classes provides thread-local force, shift force and energy buffers for kernels. These kernels can then run completely independently on multiple threads. Their output can be reduced thread-parallel afterwards.

Usage:

At domain decomposition time: Each thread calls: ThreadForceBuffer.resizeBufferAndClearMask() Each thread calls: ThreadForceBuffer.addAtomToMask() for all atoms used in the buffer Each thread calls: ThreadForceBuffer.processMask() After that ThreadedForceBuffer.setupReduction() is called

At force computation time: Each thread calls: ThreadForceBuffer.clearForcesAndEnergies(). Each thread can then accumulate forces and energies into the buffers in ThreadForceBuffer. After that ThreadedForceBuffer.reduce() is called for thread-parallel reduction.
