Add jac_chunk_size keyword argument to ObjectiveFunction to reduce memory usage of forward mode Jacobian calculation

CHANGELOG.md

@@ -12,12 +12,20 @@ New Features
 - Changes ``ToroidalFlux`` objective to default using a 1D loop integral of the vector potential
 to compute the toroidal flux when possible, as opposed to a 2D surface integral of the magnetic field dotted with ``n_zeta``.
 - Allow specification of Nyquist spectrum maximum modenumbers when using ``VMECIO.save`` to save a DESC .h5 file as a VMEC-format wout file
+- Add ``jac_chunk_size`` to ``ObjectiveFunction`` and ``_Objective`` to control the above chunk size for the ``fwd`` mode Jacobian calculation
+  - if ``None``, the chunk size is equal to ``dim_x``, so no chunking is done
+  - if an ``int``, this is the chunk size to be used.
+  - if ``"auto"`` for the ``ObjectiveFunction``, will use a heuristic for the minimum ``jac_chunk_size`` needed to fit the jacobian calculation on the available device memory, according to the formula: ``min_jac_chunk_size = (desc_config.get("avail_mem") / estimated_memory_usage - 0.22)  / 0.85  * self.dim_x`` with ``estimated_memory_usage = 2.4e-7 * self.dim_f * self.dim_x + 1``
+- the ``ObjectiveFunction`` ``jac_chunk_size`` is used if ``deriv_mode="batched"``, and the ``_Objective`` ``jac_chunk_size`` will be used if ``deriv_mode="blocked"``
 
 Bug Fixes
 
 - Fixes bugs that occur when saving asymmetric equilibria as wout files
 - Fixes bug that occurs when using ``VMECIO.plot_vmec_comparison`` to compare to an asymmetric wout file
 
+Deprecations
+
+- ``deriv_mode="looped"`` in ``ObjectiveFunction`` is deprecated and will be removed in a future version in favored of ``deriv_mode="batched"`` with ``jac_chunk_size=1``,

+
+    :func:`vectorize` is a convenience wrapper for defining vectorized
+    functions with broadcasting, in the style of NumPy's
+    `generalized universal functions
+    <https://numpy.org/doc/stable/reference/c-api/generalized-ufuncs.html>`_.
+    It allows for defining functions that are automatically repeated across
+    any leading dimensions, without the implementation of the function needing to
+    be concerned about how to handle higher dimensional inputs.
+
+    :func:`jax.numpy.vectorize` has the same interface as
+    :class:`numpy.vectorize`, but it is syntactic sugar for an auto-batching
+    transformation (:func:`vmap`) rather than a Python loop. This should be
+    considerably more efficient, but the implementation must be written in terms
+    of functions that act on JAX arrays.
+
+    Parameters
+    ----------
+    pyfunc: function to vectorize.
+    excluded: optional set of integers representing positional arguments for
+    which the function will not be vectorized. These will be passed directly
+    to ``pyfunc`` unmodified.
+    signature: optional generalized universal function signature, e.g.,
+    ``(m,n),(n)->(m)`` for vectorized matrix-vector multiplication. If
+    provided, ``pyfunc`` will be called with (and expected to return) arrays
+    with shapes given by the size of corresponding core dimensions. By
+    default, pyfunc is assumed to take scalars arrays as input and output.
+    chunk_size: the size of the batches to pass to vmap. If None, defaults to
+    the largest possible chunk_size (like the default behavior of ``vectorize11)
+
+    Returns
+    -------
