The `vtkm_unit_tests` function in the CMake build now allows you to specify
which files need to be compiled with a device compiler using the
`DEVICE_SOURCES` argument. Previously, the only way to specify that unit
tests needed to be compiled with a device compiler was to use the
`ALL_BACKENDS` argument, which would automatically compile everything with
the device compiler as well as test the code on all backends.
`ALL_BACKENDS` is still supported, but it no longer changes the sources to
be compiled with the device compiler.
Deprecate `VirtualObjectHandle` and all other classes that are used to
implement objects with virtual methods in the execution environment.
Additionally, the code is updated so that if the
`VTKm_NO_DEPRECATED_VIRTUAL` flag is set none of the code is compiled at
all. This opens us up to opportunities that do not work with virtual
methods such as backends that do not support virtual methods and dynamic
libraries for CUDA.
The new name reflects better what the underlying algorithm does. It also
helps prevent confusion about what types of data the locator is good
for. The old name suggested it only worked for structured grids, which
is not the case.
As we remove more and more virtual methods from VTK-m, I expect several
users will be interested in completely removing them from the build for
several reasons.
1. They may be compiling for hardware that does not support virtual
methods.
2. They may need to compile for CUDA but need shared libraries.
3. It should go a bit faster.
To enable this, a CMake option named `VTKm_NO_DEPRECATED_VIRTUAL` is
added. It defaults to `OFF`. But when it is `ON`, none of the code that
both uses virtuals and is deprecated will be built.
Currently, only `ArrayHandleVirtual` is deprecated, so the rest of the
virtual classes will still be built. As we move forward, more will be
removed until all virtual method functionality is removed.
Some of the code in the base `vtkm` namespace is device specific. For
example, the functions in `Math.h` are customized for specific devices.
Thus, we want this code to be specially compiled and run on these
devices.
Previously, we made a header file and then added separate tests to each
device package. That was created before we had ways of running on any
device. Now, it is much easier to compile the test a single time for all
devices and use the `ALL_BACKENDS` feature of `vtkm_unit_tests` CMake
function to automatically create the test for all devices.
how did any of this work?
match other CellSet file layouts.
???
compile in CUDA.
unit tests.
also only serial.
make error message accurate
Well, this compiles and works now.
Did it ever?
use CellShapeTagGeneric
UnitTest matches previous changes.

Fix linking problems.
Need the same interface

add filter test
okay, let's try duplicating CellSetStructure.

change to wedge in CellSetListTag
Means changing these to support it.
switch back to wedge from generic

As the RuntimeDeviceTracker is a per thread construct we now make
it explicit that you can only get a reference to the per-thread
version and can't copy it.
It is very easy to cause ODR violations with DeviceAdapterTagCuda.
If you include that header from a C++ file and a CUDA file inside
the same program we an ODR violation. The reasons is that the C++
versions will say the tag is invalid, and the CUDA will say the
tag is valid.
The solution to this is that any compilation unit that includes
DeviceAdapterTagCuda from a version of VTK-m that has CUDA enabled
must be invoked by the cuda compiler.
BitFields are:
- Stored in memory using a contiguous buffer of bits.
- Accessible via portals, a la ArrayHandle.
- Portals operate on individual bits or words.
- Operations may be atomic for safe use from concurrent kernels.
The new BitFieldToUnorderedSet device algorithm produces an ArrayHandle
containing the indices of all set bits, in no particular order.
The new AtomicInterface classes provide an abstraction into bitwise
atomic operations across control and execution environments and are used
to implement the BitPortals.
`vtkm::cont::testing` now initializes with logging enabled and support
for device being passed on the command line, `vtkm::testing` only
enables logging.
Fixes issue #276.
OpenMP tests when run in parallel exhibit negative scaling as we
have N openMP processes each spawning N threads. We speculate that
this causes excessive context switching and swapping and reduces
performance.
