## Multi layout collections

Some use cases require multiple sets of columns of different sizes. This is can be achieved in a single
`PortableCollection` using `PortableCollection2<T1, T2>`, `PortableCollection3<T1, T2, T3>` and so on up to
`PortableCollection5<...>`. The numbered, fixed size wrappers are needed in order to be added to the ROOT dictionary.
Behind the scenes recursive `PortableHostMultiCollection<T0, ...>` and
`ALPAKA_ACCELERATOR_NAMESPACE::PortableDeviceMultiCollection<TDev, T0, ...>` (note the reversed parameter order) provide
the actual class definitions.
Multiple SoA layouts can be concatenated using the `GENERATE_SOA_BLOCKS` macro (see `DataFormats/SoATemplate` for details).
This macro generates a new composite layout that contains other layouts as members
and manages a single contiguous memory buffer large enough to hold all of them.

A `PortableCollection` can then be templated on this `SoABlocks` layout.
In this case, the `view` and `const_view` methods return composite views that themselves contain views of each sublayout.

`<module>/src/alpaka/classes_rocm_def.xml`. Two scripts generate the code to be added to the xml files.
Both scripts expect the collections to be aliased as in:
```
using TestDeviceMultiCollection3 = PortableCollection3<TestSoA, TestSoA2, TestSoA3>;
using TestDeviceCollection3 = PortableCollection<TestSoABlocks3>;
```
and assume the `TestDeviceMultiCollection3` is used in the `SET_PORTABLEHOSTMULTICOLLECTION_READ_RULES()` macro.

For the host xml, SoA layouts have to be listed and duplicates should be removed manually is multiple
collections share a same layout. The scripts are called as follows:
In the example here the `TestSoABlocks3` template is an SoABlocks layout composed of three layouts.
For the host xml, all SoA layouts have to be listed. The scripts are called as follows:

single layout collections or multi layout collections.
