Description

  1. Having three copies of the same function that are slightly different is annoying to maintain.
  2. In the current structure parameters that are not needed have to be passed. E.g. multi-rank sub workers, do not need the checkpoint file handle.
  3. How do we measure evaluation times properly across restarting from a checkpoint?

Research direction

Start at the Propulator.propulate entry point and locate the three slightly different function copies mentioned in the issue. Trace how parameters, checkpoint handles, and evaluation timing are handled for multi-rank workers and checkpoint restarts. Done means the duplicated logic and unnecessary parameters are addressed, with a clear approach to measuring evaluation time across restarts.
