 # Optimized operators for [HyTeG](https://i10git.cs.fau.de/hyteg/hyteg)

 Each kernel has a platform independent and, where applicable, an AVX-vectorized version.
 The desired variant is configured in CMake.

 # To generate all operators you have to run the script repeatedly, each time with a different toml file.

+## Intended development workflow
+
+Adding a new operator is as easy as adjusting one of the existing `operators-<operator-group>.toml` files, or adding a new one.
+If you want to update the generator, make the necessary changes in the `generate` directory.
+It is a good idea to test your changes locally.
+In your commit, do not include changes to the `operators` directory.
+After pushing your changes to the remote, our CI automatically regenerates all operators from all `operators-<operator-group>.toml` files present in the repository.
+In this process, any changes you made under `operators` will be lost.
+After the pipeline has passed, you can trigger the manual job `file-mr` to create a new merge request including your changes and the freshly generated operators.
+Using the CI makes sure that the generated code is always in sync with the description of what and how to generate.
