Passing ADIOS hint #1479

Open guj opened 11 months ago

guj commented 11 months ago

In ADIOS BP5, the pair of functions EnterComputationBlock()/ExitComputationBlock() hints to ADIOS that it is safe to perform I/O in the background.

Is it possible for openPMD-api clients to pass such hints to ADIOS?

It's currently not possible. I think that the most straightforward way to implement this would be to replicate the ADIOS2 API here and thread the call through down to the ADIOS2 backend.
