Some simulation codes might have to be installed (and therefore executed) in a different environment than optimas (e.g., due to different dependencies, MPI version, etc). This PR allows the
TemplateEvaluatorto launch simulations in their own environments if anenv_scriptis provided (a new feature in libEnsemble0.10). This is a shell script that loads the required environment.If the environment of the simulation uses a different MPI than optimas, this should be specified by indicating a
env_mpi.As an example, this would be the template evaluator for running simulations with a version of HiPACE that requires a different environment and which uses
openpmi.The PR also adds a HiPACE example that exposes these options if needed.
