When a new file is added to VTK-m, the copyright statement should go at
the top of the file. The copyright contains a date. What should that date
be? I usually set the date to the current year so older files will have
an older copyright whereas newer files will have a newer one. The check
copyright script needs to be flexible on the date.
There was an error in the script that was copied over from Dax. It was
checking for the year 2011, the start of the Dax project, and replacing
that in the text. VTK-m started in 2014, so the script really needs to
check for that year instead.
Add an Allocate method in ArrayHandle that basically forwards the
alllocate request to the storage object. This allows some measure of
control of the array from the control side. You can allocate the array
and set values (by getting the control array portal) if you so desire.
Previously when ReleaseResourcesExecution was called, the method blindly
deleted the execution array regardless of whether there was a valid copy
in the control environment. This could potentially lose data. What if
someone wanted to conserve memory on the device by clearing the array of
an output array?
There is also now an internal method that blindly deletes the array.
This is good for internal functions that are doing something to
invalidate the execution data anyway.
Fixed a problem where ArrayHandle would cause a crash if you tried to
get the control portal on an uninitialized array (it was supposed to
throw an exception).
Also changed some methods in ArrayHandle so that they work resonably
without error when used with an uninitialized array. Specifically, the
aforementioned behavior was changed to "allocate" an array of size 0
(that is, call Allocate(0) on the storage object) to return an empty
array portal rather than throw an error. Although this use of
ArrayHandle can be considered erroneous, it is convenient the get an
empty array portal when dealing with a potentially unallocated array
rather than create a special condition.
The namespaces need to be different for each test, or else only the first
implementation of the function will be used for all tests that call that
function.
Also updated the test to verify that we can count starting from a non zero
number.
NVCC is unable to handle finding the worklets when they are in an anonymous
namespace. It only looks at the the anonymous namespaces included by the
files that device code uses, and misses our anon namespace. Moving to a named
namespace solves these issues.
They were declared as in both control and execution, but this would
cause problems when the FunctionInterface contained objects that could
only be copied in the control environment. Using these methods probably
only makes sense in the control environment anyway. (They are a bit
heavyweight to use in an inner loop of the execution environment.)
The functors in the ForEach, StaticTransform, and DynamicTransform
methods sometimes can use the index of the parameter that they are
operating on. This can be a helpful diagnostic in compile and run-time
errors. It is also helpful when linking parameters from one
FunctionInterface with those of another.
This new features are now replacing implementations using the Zip
functionality that was removed earlier. The implementation is actually
simplified a bit.
The Zip function does not work when compiling with CUDA because it
forces the parameters to be in both the control and execution (host and
device) environments.
Porting the dax device adapter over to vtkm. Unlike the dax version, doesn't
use the thrust::device_vector, but instead uses thrust::system calls so that
we can support multiple thrust based backends.
Also this has Texture Memory support for input array handles. Some more work
will need to be done to ArrayHandle so that everything works when using an
ArrayHandle inplace with texture memory bindings.
When fixing a problem where the disabled test had left some unused
classes, which some compilers picked up on (SHA
eae8921dc714c9bdb12058db365f890425291ea2), I used a preprocessor wrapper
to enable/disable the code (mostly to preserve history). However, I
forgot to leave the code disabled. Disable that here.
A couple of tests were failing with the Intel compiler due to
imprecision in comparing floating point values.
Also snuck in some minor documentation fixes in a comment for
FunctionInterface.
