Description
Currently the number of network buffers in LocalBufferPool for SingleInputGate is limited by a * <number of channels> + b, where a is the number of exclusive buffers for each channel and b is the number of floating buffers shared by all channels.
Considering the credit-based flow control feature, we want to implement a new fixed size buffer pool type used to manage the floating buffers for SingleInputGate.
Compared with LocalBufferPool, this is a non-rebalancing buffer pool which will not participate in redistributing the left available buffers in NetworkBufferPool.
