Description
One of the most expensive parts of the Helmholtz EOS (on GPUs) is taking the log to T, rho each time we need to find the index into the electron table. We should regenerate the table with a different spacing that doesn't require the log. Some ideas are contained in this paper:
https://arxiv.org/abs/2206.08957
and the code appears here:
This will require us to write a standalone EOS that computes the F-D integrals to tabulate the electron-positron values. This would be nice to have in any case, because it would allow us to sync up the values of the fundamental constants.
