Fregrid Optimization: Device Pointers#356
Conversation
- During exchange grid generation and remapping data, allocate temporary arrays on the device only -Allocate data memory on device using acc_malloc -Remove instances of `data create` – data will only be housed on device, so there is no need to match creation on host. - Modify `present` clause, removing data allocated memory using acc_malloc - Utilize deviceptr clause to declare that pointers in list refer to a device pointer that does not need to be allocated / moved between host and device.

@hderry, do you know which test is failing? |
It is running additional tests with -- make -C build -j check The same tests I mentioned failing in my initial comment about checklist FAIL: split_ncvars/split_ncvars-p |

Description
During exchange grid generation and remapping data, allocate temporary arrays on the device.
- Allocate data memory on device using acc_malloc
-Remove instances of
data create– data will only be housed on device, so there is no need to match creation on host.Modify
presentclause, removing data allocated memory using acc_mallocUtilize deviceptr clause to declare that pointers in list refer to a device pointer that does not need to be allocated / moved between host and device.
