Hi everyone, this release contains a major feature: shared memory! This allows Spyral processes to share resources, and will greatly reduce the memory load when using things like the interpolation mesh. Any phase is allowed to implement shared memory (including user defined phases), but there are some caveats to how it should be used. First is that any shared memory should be treated as read-only. It should not be written to or modified during the main runtime of Spyral. Spyral does not implement any locks for shared memory, and so any modification of the shared memory would result in a race condition. The other is that shared memory is always allocated if the associated phase is to be run, resulting in a constant memory pressure during Spyral's runtime.
The documentation has been updated accordingly. Please let us know what your experience is with this update, and please make a GitHub Issue if you run into any problems!
