Code review comment for lp:~maddevelopers/mg5amcnlo/3.0.2

Hi Valentin,

PolyVirtual keeps all events (i.e., the random numbers that corresponds to the generated momenta) for which the virtual have been computed in memory to get the best possible polynomial fit for the virtuals. It also writes them all to disk so that they can be re-used in the next integration step.

I had hoped that in practice there are few enough PS points for which the virtuals need to be computed (i.e., well below several million) that this would not become an issue for most processes (in particular since the virt-tricks should work slightly better with the PolyVirtuals than without). Apparently this is not good enough when running on a cluster requiring high accuracy.

Best,
Rikkert
