The timer class now is asynchronous and device independent. it's using an
similiar API as vtkOpenGLRenderTimer with Start(), Stop(), Reset(), Ready(),
and GetElapsedTime() function. For convenience and backward compability, Each
Start() function call will call Reset() internally and each GetElapsedTime()
function call will call Stop() function if it hasn't been called yet for keeping
backward compatibility purpose.
Bascially it can be used in two modes:
* Create a Timer without any device info. vtkm::cont::Timer time;
* It would enable timers for all enabled devices on the machine. Users can get a
specific elapsed time by passing a device id into the GetElapsedtime function.
If no device is provided, it would pick the maximum of all timer results - the
logic behind this decision is that if cuda is disabled, openmp, serial and tbb
roughly give the same results; if cuda is enabled it's safe to return the
maximum elapsed time since users are more interested in the device execution
time rather than the kernal launch time. The Ready function can be handy here
to query the status of the timer.
* Create a Timer with a device id. vtkm::cont::Timer time((vtkm::cont::DeviceAdapterTagCuda()));
* It works as the old timer that times for a specific device id.
The new and improved vtkm::cont::ColorTable provides a more feature complete
color table implementation that is modeled after
vtkDiscretizableColorTransferFunction. This class therefore supports different
color spaces ( rgb, lab, hsv, diverging ) and supports execution across all
device adapters.
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.
Following what was done with ArrayRangeCompute, the GetRange and
GetBounds methods are embedded into the vtkm_cont library for the most
common type lists.
Also, and probably more importantly, the device adapter is no longer one
of the arguments for either of these methods. It is no longer needed as
ArrayRangeCompute no longer needs it.

Before it was in the vtkm::cont::internal namespace. However, we expect
to be using this feature quite a bit more as we want VTK-m to handle
multiple devices effectively (as in, just figure it out and go).
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.
The remove boost::shared_ptr and the rendering library branches where
developed simultaneously, and thus some of the rendering library
implementation was using boost::shared_ptr like the old code. Bring up
to date with the rest of VTK-m by using std::shared_ptr instead.
The clang compiler was running into linker errors constructors of
classes with virtual methods that were inline and destructors that were
not declared at all. In this case, the compiler was not creating
everything needed by a virtual table and the link died.
