Description
Description
The goal of the work tracked by this EPIC is to be able to define combinations (mainly triplets) of types, e.g., {cell_type fem_type, constitutive_model}, that a specific solver requires its kernels to be compiled on. This would allow us to avoid compiling kernels that are effectively unused and define compilation "configurations" that could, for example, be used to have a light version of geos compiled during development.
Work Scope
We plan to define the list of types to be dispatched on through cmake and to implement the capabilities necessary to dispatch a list of types.
