This PR implements GPU aware IO (closes #176) where data is written directly from device memory to ADIOS2 without host staging.
Process:
adios2_putdoes not accept CUDAdevicearray. Therefore a C wrapperadios2_put_gpuis created to receive the device pointer and calls the Cadios2_put. Without the C wrapper it triggers a device-to-copy which defeats the purpose)In order to use GPU-aware IO we have to use the compiler flag:
-DWITH_ADIOS2_GPU_AWARE=ONAs part of this PR I have also implemented single-precision writing from GPU, as well as reading mixed-precision (closes #276) and as well fixed a bug in checkpoints, where it was using the host pointer (%data) see 20d98bf.
