There are some overloads for atomic adds of floating point numbers for
older versions of cuda that do not include them directly. These were
misnamed and thus not properly overloading the generic implementation.
This caused compile errors with older versions of cuda.
While updating the user's guide, I noticed a couple of minor problems
with how filters map fields. First, if a filter was using
`CreateResultCoordinateSystem`, it did not respect the
`PassCoordinateSystems` flag. Second, if both an `initializer_list` and
a mode was given to `SetFieldsToPass`, the mode was captured
incorrectly. Both problems are corrected.
The fields in a `DataSet` are indexed from `0` to `GetNumberOfFields() - 1`.
It is natural to assume that the fields will be indexed in the order that
they are added, but they are not. Rather, the indexing is arbitrary and can
change any time a field is added to the dataset.
To make this more clear, Doxygen documentation is added to the `DataSet`
methods to inform users to not make any assumptions about the order of
field indexing.
The member variables of the `vtkm::Particle` classes are now hidden. This
means that external code will not be directly able to access member
variables like `Pos`, `Time`, and `ID`. Instead, these need to be retrieved
and changed through accessor methods.
This follows standard C++ principles. It also helps us future-proof the
classes. It means that we can provide subclasses or alternate forms of
`Particle` that operate differently. It also makes it possible to change
interfaces while maintaining a deprecated interface.
Added a name option that allows the same benchmark executable to be used
in multiple benchmark tests. This allows the benchmarks to be separated.
Also added an option to pass customized arguments to the benchmark
executable to overwrite the default values.

During the VTK-m 1.8 and 1.9 development, the filter infrastructure was
overhauled. Part of this created a completely new set of base classes. To
avoid confusion with the original filter base classes and ease transition,
the new filter base classes were named `NewFilter*`. Eventually after all
filters were transitioned, the old filter base classes were deprecated.
With the release of VTK-m 2.0, the old filter base classes are removed. The
"new" filter base classes are no longer new. Thus, they have been renamed
simply `Filter` (and `FilterField`).
Originally, most of the sources used constructor parameters to set the
various options of the source. Although convenient, it was difficult to
keep track of what each parameter meant. To make the code more clear,
source parameters are now set with accessor functions (e.g.
`SetPointDimensions`). Although this makes code more verbose, it helps
prevent mistakes and makes the changes more resilient to future changes.
With the major revision 2.0 of VTK-m, many items previously marked as
deprecated were removed. If updating to a new version of VTK-m, it is
recommended to first update to VTK-m 1.9, which will include the deprecated
features but provide warnings (with the right compiler) that will point to
the replacement code. Once the deprecations have been fixed, updating to
2.0 should be smoother.
Previously, `DataSet` managed `CoordinateSystem`s separately from `Field`s.
However, a `CoordinateSystem` is really just a `Field` with some special
attributes. Thus, coordiante systems are now just listed along with the
rest of the fields, and the coordinate systems are simply strings that
point back to the appropriate field. (This was actually the original
concept for `DataSet`, but the coordinate systems were separated from
fields for some now obsolete reasons.)
Previously, point fields compressed by ZFP were attached as point fields
on the output. However, using them as a point field would cause
problems. So, instead attache them as `WholeDataSet` fields.
Also fixed a problem where the 1D decompressor created an output of the
wrong size.
The `VTKM_LOG_SCOPE` macro was not working as intended. It was supposed
to print a log message immediately and then print a second log message
when leaving the scope along with the number of seconds that elapsed
between the two messages.
This was not what was happening. The second log message was being
printed immediately after the first. This is because the scope was taken
inside of the `LogScope` method. The macro has been rewritten to put the
tracking in the right scope.
The name of the methods were changed from `AddGhostCellField` to
`SetGhostCellField` since only one field can be marked as the cell
ghost. Also automatically select a field that matches
`GetGlobalCellFieldName` if nothing else is set.
The basic use of `FieldSelection` is to construct the class with a mode
(`None`, `Any`, `Select`, `Exclude`), and then specify particular fields
based off of this mode. This works fine for basic uses where the same code
that constructs a `FieldSelection` sets all the fields.
But what happens, for example, if you have code that takes an existing
`FieldSelection` and wants to exclude the field named `foo`? If the
`FieldSelection` mode happens to be anything other than `Exclude`, the code
would have to go through several hoops to construct a new `FieldSelection`
object with this modified selection.
To make this case easier, `FieldSelection` now has the ability to specify
the mode independently for each field. The `AddField` method now has an
optional mode argument the specifies whether the mode for that field should
be `Select` or `Exclude`.
In the example above, the code can simply add the `foo` field with the
`Exclude` mode. Regardless of whatever state the `FieldSelection` was in
before, it will now report the `foo` field as not selected.

It is possible in a `DataSet` to add a point field (or coordinate system)
that has a different number of points than reported in the cell set.
Likewise for the number of cells in cell fields. This is very bad practice
because it is likely to lead to crashes in worklets that are expecting
arrays of an appropriate length.
Although `DataSet` will still allow this, a warning will be added to the
VTK-m logging to alert users of the inconsistency introduced into the
`DataSet`. Since warnings are by default printed to standard error, users
are likely to see it.
The field being created by `ParticleDensityNearestGridPoint` was supposed
to be associated with cells, but it was sized to the number of points.
Although the number of points will always be more than the number of cells
(so the array will be big enough), having inappropriately sized arrays can
cause further problems downstream.
When managing portals in the execution environment, `ArrayHandle` uses the
`Token` object to ensure that the memory associated with a portal exists
for the length of time that it is needed. This is done by creating the
portal with a `Token` object, and the associated portal objects are
guaranteed to be valid while that `Token` object exists. This is supported
by essentially locking the array from further changes.
`Token` objects are typically used when creating a control-side portal with
the `ReadPortal` or `WritePortal`. This is not to say that a `Token` would
not be useful; a control-side portal going out of scope is definitely a
problem. But the creation and distruction of portals in the control
environment is generally too much work for the possible benefits.
However, under certain circumstances it could be useful to use a `Token` to
get a control-side portal. For example, if the `PrepareForExecution` method
of an `ExecutionObjectBase` needs to fill a small `ArrayHandle` on the
control side to pass to the execution side, it would be better to use the
provided `Token` object when doing so. This change allows you to optionally
provide that `Token` when creating these control-side portals.
For several versions, VTK-m has had a `Variant` templated class. This acts
like a templated union where the object will store one of a list of types
specified as the template arguments. (There are actually 2 versions for the
control and execution environments, respectively.)
Because this is a complex class that required several iterations to work
through performance and compiler issues, `Variant` was placed in the
`internal` namespace to avoid complications with backward compatibility.
However, the class has been stable for a while, so let us expose this
helpful tool for wider use.
The `Tube` filter wraps a tube of polygons around poly line cells.
During this process it had a strange (and wrong) handling of cell data.
It assumed that each line had an independent field entry for each
segment of each line. It thus had lots of extra code to find the length
and offsets of the segment data in the cell data.
This is simply not how cell fields work in VTK-m. In VTK-m, each cell
has exactly one entry in the cell field array. Even if a polyline has
100 segments, it only gets one cell field value. This behavior is
consistent with how VTK treats cell field arrays.
The behavior the `Tube` filter was trying to implement was closer to an
"edge" field. However, edge fields are currently not supported in VTK-m.
The proper implementation would be to add edge fields to VTK-m. (This
would also get around some problems with the implementation that was
removed here when mixing polylines with other cell types and degenerate
lines.)
The legacy VTK reader sometimes has to permute cell data because some
VTK cells are not directly supported in VTK-m. (For example, triangle
strips are not supported. They have to be converted to triangles.)
The global and petigree identifiers were not properly getting permuted.
This is now fixed.
Several revisions ago, the ability to use virtual methods in the
execution environment was deprecated. Completely remove this
functionality for the VTK-m 2.0 release.
`ExecutionWholeArray` is an archaic class in VTK-m that is a thin wrapper
around an array portal. In the early days of VTK-m, this class was used to
transfer whole arrays to the execution environment. However, now the
supported method is to use `WholeArray*` tags in the `ControlSignature` of
a worklet.
Nevertheless, the `WholeArray*` tags caused the array portal transferred to
the worklet to be wrapped inside of an `ExecutionWholeArray` class. This
is unnecessary and can cause confusion about the types of data being used.
Most code is unaffected by this change. Some code that had to work around
the issue of the portal wrapped in another class used the `GetPortal`
method which is no longer needed (for obvious reasons). One extra feature
that `ExecutionWholeArray` had was that it provided an subscript operator
(somewhat incorrectly). Thus, any use of '[..]' to index the array portal
have to be changed to use the `Get` method.
There is a Makefile include, `vtkm_config.mk`, and a package include,
`vtkm.pc`, that are configured so that external programs that do not use
CMake have a way of importing VTK-m's configuration. However, the set of
libraries was hardcoded. In particular, many of the new filter libraries
were missing.
Rather than try to maintain this list manually, use the module mechanism
in the CMake configuration to get a list of libraries built and
automatically build these lists.
This mechanism sets up CMake variables that allow a user to select which
modules/libraries to create. Dependencies will be tracked down to ensure
that all of a module's dependencies are also enabled.
The modules are also arranged into groups.
Groups allow you to set the enable flag for a group of modules at once.
Thus, if you have several modules that are likely to be used together,
you can create a group for them.
This can be handy in converting user-friendly CMake options (such as
`VTKm_ENABLE_RENDERING`) to the modules that enable that by pointing to
the appropriate group.
