refactor checkpoint implementation

Open psychocoderHPC opened this issue 4 years ago • 4 comments

The checkpointing implementation is currently very complex. There are many edge cases e.g. if field-background is used.

Maybe we should separate checkpointing from dumpOnStep

Note: field background now takes care of it internally. But yes, implementing it needed knowledge of how exactly checkpoints work.

The issue is still open and moderately pressing - now it works fine but is quite fragile if there are changes needed to this part. Unassigning myself.
