ChunkingΒΆ
Very fast experiments with a high repetition rate (>1 Hertz) are challenging. A particular problem are the time it
takes the core device to switch from one run/kernel to the next. Atomiq tries to reduce this overhead by grouping
together different runs in so-called chunks. Runs within a chuck are packed into the same ARTIQ kernel and are thus
executed back-to-back (even without breaking real-time if you like) without the timing overhead of starting a new kernel.
In principle one would like to pack all runs into a single kernel, but memory on the core device is limited, and thus we
have to compromise and find a reasonable AtomiqExperiment.CHUNKSIZE that can be overwritten as a
class-level attribute for your experiment class
