This commit splits ThreadIndicesTopologyMap into two
different specializations which can be instanciated with the
tags: DefaultScatterAndMaskTag and CustomScatterAndMaskTag.
These specialization will allow ThreadIndicesTopologyMap
instances to avoid holding in memory InputIndex, OutputIndex and ThreadIndex
variables when Mask = MaskNone and Scatter = ScatterIdentity which in this case
are not needed since no transformation are done.

The `ArrayHandleStreaming` class stems from an old research project
experimenting with bringing data from an `ArrayHandle` in parts and
overlapping device transfer and execution. It works, but only in very
limited contexts. Thus, it is not actually used today. Plus, the feature
requires global indexing to be permutated throughout the worklet
dispatching classes of VTK-m for no further reason.
Because it is not really used, there are other more promising approaches
on the horizon, and it makes further scheduling improvements difficult,
we are removing this functionality.
Read-only arrays (usually) do not define Set methods. Thus, using one in
an Invoke argument that does output will result in compile errors. To
help avoid that, modify the type checks to differentiate input and
output arrays.
The change affects the method GetThreadIndices for both
WorkletMapTopology and WorkletPointNeighborhood.
Before an scatter or mask which was not ScatterIdentity or MaskNone
was not allowed and it was enforced at compilation time.

A new header named TypeList.h and the type lists have been redefined in
this new file. All the types have been renamed from `TypeListTag*` to
`TypeList*`. TypeListTag.h has been gutted to provide deprecated
versions of the old type list names.
There were also some other type lists that were changed from using the
old `ListTagBase` to the new `List`.
The `From` and `To` nomenclature for topology mapping has been confusing for
both users and developers, especially at lower levels where the intention of
mapping attributes from one element to another is easily conflated with the
concept of mapping indices (which maps in the exact opposite direction).
These identifiers have been renamed to `VisitTopology` and `IncidentTopology`
to clarify the direction of the mapping. The order in which these template
parameters are specified for `WorkletMapTopology` have also been reversed,
since eventually there may be more than one `IncidentTopology`, and having
`IncidentTopology` at the end will allow us to replace it with a variadic
template parameter pack in the future.
Other implementation details supporting these worklets, include `Fetch` tags,
`Connectivity` classes, and methods on the various `CellSet` classes (such as
`PrepareForInput` have also reversed their template arguments. These will need
to be cautiously updated.
The convenience implementations of `WorkletMapTopology` have been renamed for
clarity as follows:
```
WorkletMapPointToCell --> WorkletVisitCellsWithPoints
WorkletMapCellToPoint --> WorkletVisitPointsWithCells
```
The `ControlSignature` tags have been renamed as follows:
```
FieldInTo --> FieldInVisit
FieldInFrom --> FieldInMap
FromCount --> IncidentElementCount
FromIndices --> IncidentElementIndices
```
Mask objects allow you to specify which output values should be
generated when a worklet is run. That is, the Mask allows you to skip
the invocation of a worklet for any number of outputs.
Sandia National Laboratories recently changed management from the
Sandia Corporation to the National Technology & Engineering Solutions
of Sandia, LLC (NTESS). The copyright statements need to be updated
accordingly.
Previously, the operator for a Transport class took the object being
transported to the execution environment and the size of the output
domain. This change also passes in the control-side argument for the
input domain. This will help check input array sizes as well as make
other potential transformations based on the input domain.
Change the VTKM_CONT_EXPORT to VTKM_CONT. (Likewise for EXEC and
EXEC_CONT.) Remove the inline from these macros so that they can be
applied to everything, including implementations in a library.
Because inline is not declared in these modifies, you have to add the
keyword to functions and methods where the implementation is not inlined
in the class.
ThreadIndicies constructor was templated on the invocation type, which created
thousand's of versions of that symbol which all had the same behavior. So now
remove that and move that logic into a Worklet function since it requires
the invocation info.
The map topology worklets are to have convenience classes for all the
common mappings. However WorkletMapCellToPoint was left out as an
oversight. This adds the class.
WorkletMapPointToCell is a convenience subclass of WorkletMapTopology.
As such, it renames all the From/To signature tags to say Point/Cell to
be easier to read. However, the alias for FromCount was missing. Add the
alias PointCount.
The tetrahedralize algorithms have been changed to use the Scatter
classes to build indices rather than build them on their own.
To implement this efficiently with structured grids, a new ScatterUniform
class was made. I also added a new execution argument tag that allows
you to get the thread indices object from within the worklet.
This now allows for even more efficient construction of uniform point
coordinates when running under the 3d scheduler, since we don't need to go
from 3d index to flat index to 3d index, instead we stay in 3d index
Previously, all Fetch objects received an Invocation object in their
Load and Store methods. The point of this was that it allowed the Fetch
to get data from any of the execution objects. However, every Fetch
either just got data directly from its associated execution object or
else used a secondary execution object (the input domain) to get indices
into their own execution object.
This left two potential areas for improvement. First, pulling data out
of the Invocation object was unnecessarily complicated. It would be much
nicer to get data directly from the associated execution object. Second,
when getting index information from the input domain, it was often the
case that extra computations were necessary (particularly on structured
cell sets). There was no way to share the index information among
Fetches, and therefore the computations were replicated.
This change removes the Invocation from the Fetch Load and Store.
Instead, it passes the associated execution object and a new object type
called the ThreadIndices. The ThreadIndices are customized for the input
domain and therefore have all the information needed for a redirected
lookup. It is also a thread-local object so it can cache computed
indices and save on computation time.
This change removes the requirement to specify some maximum cell length
in each of the worklets, which is basically impossible. It also makes
some of the loading more lazy, which might help reduce the number of
registers required in a worklet.
Previously, all arrays passed to worklets were designated as either
input or output. No in-place operation was permitted. This change adds
the FieldInOut tag for ControlSignature in both WorkletMapField and
WorkletMapTopology that allows you to read and write from the same
array.
In the CellSet and related classes, a connection was referred to by a
"from" topology element and a "to" topology element. However, in the
worklet control signature tags the elements were referred to by "src"
and "dest." To make things consistent, use "from" and "to" everywhere.
Most of VTK-m follows the convention of calling the 0D topology elements
"points" (which follows the convention of VTK). However, there were
several places where they were referred to as "nodes." Make things
consistent by calling them points everywhere.
Also merged some redundant ExecutionSignature tags.
