Multi-node RSim surfaced the fact that we still generate frequent small allocations because we do not
anticipate()
push and await-push commands, which do allocate (buffer) host memory.We want to replace strided-host-buffer staging of MPI transfers with linearized
copy_plan
staging eventually, but for the meantime this PR avoids frequent host-buffer reallocations (and with it, potential runaway scheduling complexity) around sends and receives by accumulating all boxes they potentially touch duringanticipate()
as well.
