There were some places in the rendering code where floating point
exceptions (FPE) could happen under certain circumstances. Often we do not
care about invalid floating point operation in rendering as they often
occur in degenerate cases that don't contribute anyway. However,
simulations that might include VTK-m might turn on FPE to check their own
operations. In such cases, we don't want errant rendering arithmetic
causing an exception and bringing down the whole code. Thus, we turn on FPE
in some of our test platforms and avoid such operations in general.
The newer version of `ArrayHandle` no longer supports different types of
portals for different devices. Thus, the `ReadPortalType` and
`WritePortalType` are sufficient for all types of portals across all
devices.
This significantly simplifies supporting execution objects on devices,
and thus this change also includes many changes to various execution
objects to remove their dependence on the device adapter tag.
The actual code for AtomicArrayExecutionObject does not need to be
specialized by the device. The functionality is implemented by calling
the vtkm::Atomic* methods, which are properly implemented on each
device.
There are several places in the ray casting library that require
operating on a field that we know is a scalar field. Previously, these
were all independently cast to an uncertain array of the limited types.
Rather than have independent calls everywere, make a consolidated
function that does the same operation for everyone.
This fixes an issue with using a deprecated version of a method. It also
makes it possible to quickly change types in the future.
The old atomic compare and swap operations (`vtkm::AtomicCompareAndSwap`
and `vtkm::exec::AtomicArrayExecutionObject::CompareAndSwap`) had an
order of arguments that was confusing. The order of the arguments was
shared pointer (or index), desired value, expected value. Most people
probably assume expected value comes before desired value. And this
order conflicts with the order in the `std` methods, GCC atomics, and
Kokkos.
Change the interface of atomic operations to be patterned off the
`std::atomic_compare_exchange` and `std::atomic<T>::compare_exchange`
methods. First, these methods have a more intuitive order of parameters
(shared pointer, expected, desired). Second, rather than take a value
for the expected and return the actual old value, they take a pointer to
the expected value (or reference in `AtomicArrayExecutionObject`) and
modify this value in the case that it does not match the actual value.
This makes it harder to mix up the expected and desired parameters.
Also, because the methods return a bool indicating whether the value was
changed, there is an additional benefit that compare-exchange loops are
implemented easier.
For example, consider you want to apply the function `MyOp` on a
`sharedValue` atomically. With the old interface, you would have to do
something like this.
```cpp
T oldValue;
T newValue;
do
{
oldValue = *sharedValue;
newValue = MyOp(oldValue);
} while (vtkm::AtomicCompareAndSwap(sharedValue, newValue, oldValue) != oldValue);
```
With the new interface, this is simplfied to this.
```cpp
T oldValue = *sharedValue;
while (!vtkm::AtomicCompareExchange(sharedValue, &oldValue, MyOp(oldValue));
```
Marked the old versions of PrepareFor* that do not use tokens as
deprecated and moved all of the code to use the new versions that
require a token. This makes the scope of the execution object more
explicit so that it will be kept while in use and can potentially be
reclaimed afterward.
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 script fixed up most of the issues. However, there were some
instances that the script was not able to pick up on. There were
also some instances that still needed a means to select types.
Rather than force all dispatchers to be templated on a device adapter,
instead use a TryExecute internally within the invoke to select a device
adapter.
Because this removes the need to declare a device when invoking a
worklet, this commit also removes the need to declare a device in
several other areas of the code.
Calling std::swap isn't legal from CUDA code, but the new vtkm::Swap
method is safe. It currently does a naive swap when compiling CUDA
code, and falls back to an ADL swap
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.
This commit solved z-fighting issues with two changes:
- A small offset, proportional to distance between near and far planes, is
applied in camera space to the edges.
- The minimum screenspace offset is increased as well for the same reason.
A new test case is added for uniform grids.
Additionally, the line plotting algorithm is changed to round off the
edge endpoints to fill in empty pixels seen on uniform grids.
This change adds a option via `SetIsOverlay` which causes the
`MapperWireframer` to use the existing depth buffer instead of
generating a new one.
This change refactors the line color blending to
retain the alpha value separately instead of pre-multiplying it.
