Description

The following variables can be tweaked in https://github.com/lanl/gs_patterns/blob/main/gs_patterns.h to "weaken" the filtering, which can potentially produce more pattern output for an application. These variables are currently defined at compile-time, but it would be nice to make these run-time parameters and share a simple example that demonstrates effects.

NTOP, OUTTHRESH, IWINDOW, USTRIDES, NSTRIDES

Research direction

Start with gs_patterns.h and inspect the compile-time definitions of NTOP, OUTTHRESH, IWINDOW, USTRIDES, and NSTRIDES, along with the code that consumes them. Trace how pattern filtering is configured, then define runtime parameters and add the requested simple example showing how changing them affects pattern output.
