50 * \brief Describes work done on this domain that may change per-step.
52 * This work description is based on the SimulationWorkload in the context of the
53 * current particle interactions assigned to this domain as well as other
54 * factors that may change during the lifetime of a domain.
56 * Note that the contents of an object of this type is valid for
57 * a single step and it is expected to be set at the beginning each step.
59 * The initial set of flags map the legacy force flags to boolean flags;
60 * these have the role of directing per-step compute tasks undertaken by a PP rank.
