Fixes #83
This PR implements asynchronous building of stencils in cartesian gtscript (PR affects only
gt4py.cartesian
)API:
eager
keyword to thelazy_stencil
decorator is extended. It can now be set to"async"
which will schedule compilation immediately asynchronously. Wait is triggered by accessingLazyStencil.implementation
(e.g. by means of__call__
)wait_all()
function ingt4py.cartesian.stencil_builder
that is a barrier that can be usedToDo:
pace
Note that since
StencilObject
can not be pickled, it can't be returned from multiprocessing / result ofconcurrent.future
with a ProcessPoolExecutor. In the implementation at hand, instead theload
step is run multiple times (once in the building child process and once in the main process). If this is ok is to be seen (e.g. from `pace).
