There are some overloads for atomic adds of floating point numbers for
older versions of cuda that do not include them directly. These were
misnamed and thus not properly overloading the generic implementation.
This caused compile errors with older versions of cuda.
Some of the data sets that are included from VTK-m are derived from the
VisIt Tutorial Data (https://www.visitusers.org/index.php?title=Tutorial_Data).
These are covered by the VisIt license, as communicated by Eric Brugger.
Although the license for these data is compatible with VTK-m's license,
we should still attribute the source of the data and make clear the
copyrights. The data are moved into the third_party directory, and
readmes are added to document everything.
The noise.vtk and noise.bov files have been renamed example.vtk and
example_temp.bov to match the name of the file in the VisIt tutorial
data archive. The ucd3d.vtk file, which is similar to the curv3d.silo
data but altered, has been removed. It was not used for any tests. It
was referenced in a couple of example programs, but the reference is
easily changed.
Some of the test data sets are derived from data sets that are commonly
distributed to test visualization algorithms and are featured in
numerous papers. However, I am unable to track down the original source
let alone identify what license, if any, they were released under. To
avoid any complications with data ownership, remove these data sets and
replace them with in house data sets that we explicitly own.
While updating the user's guide, I noticed a couple of minor problems
with how filters map fields. First, if a filter was using
`CreateResultCoordinateSystem`, it did not respect the
`PassCoordinateSystems` flag. Second, if both an `initializer_list` and
a mode was given to `SetFieldsToPass`, the mode was captured
incorrectly. Both problems are corrected.
CUDA 12 adds a `cub::Swap` function that creates ambiguity with `vtkm::Swap`.
This happens when a function from the `cub` namespace is called with an object
of a class defined in the `vtkm` namespace as an argument. If that function
has an unqualified call to `Swap`, it results in ADL being used, causing the
templated functions `cub::Swap` and `vtkm::Swap` to conflict.
The fields in a `DataSet` are indexed from `0` to `GetNumberOfFields() - 1`.
It is natural to assume that the fields will be indexed in the order that
they are added, but they are not. Rather, the indexing is arbitrary and can
change any time a field is added to the dataset.
To make this more clear, Doxygen documentation is added to the `DataSet`
methods to inform users to not make any assumptions about the order of
field indexing.
The member variables of the `vtkm::Particle` classes are now hidden. This
means that external code will not be directly able to access member
variables like `Pos`, `Time`, and `ID`. Instead, these need to be retrieved
and changed through accessor methods.
This follows standard C++ principles. It also helps us future-proof the
classes. It means that we can provide subclasses or alternate forms of
`Particle` that operate differently. It also makes it possible to change
interfaces while maintaining a deprecated interface.
The PerlinNoise source has a mode where if a seed is not set, it will
choose a new seed every time it is executed. It did this by using the
value 0 as an indicator to do this (and initializing the Seed to 0).
However, there was a problem with one of the benchmarks that was
specifically setting the seed to 0 and getting unexpected results.
Fix the problem by adding a separate, hidden member of the PerlinNoise
class that keeps track of whether to generate new seeds or not.

During the VTK-m 1.8 and 1.9 development, the filter infrastructure was
overhauled. Part of this created a completely new set of base classes. To
avoid confusion with the original filter base classes and ease transition,
the new filter base classes were named `NewFilter*`. Eventually after all
filters were transitioned, the old filter base classes were deprecated.
With the release of VTK-m 2.0, the old filter base classes are removed. The
"new" filter base classes are no longer new. Thus, they have been renamed
simply `Filter` (and `FilterField`).
Originally, most of the sources used constructor parameters to set the
various options of the source. Although convenient, it was difficult to
keep track of what each parameter meant. To make the code more clear,
source parameters are now set with accessor functions (e.g.
`SetPointDimensions`). Although this makes code more verbose, it helps
prevent mistakes and makes the changes more resilient to future changes.
This method is principally obsolete and should have been removed when
coordinate systems were converted into fields. I noticed it was still
there when updating the documentation.
This removal required some changes to the CleanGrid filter, but this
actually simplified the code.
With the major revision 2.0 of VTK-m, many items previously marked as
deprecated were removed. If updating to a new version of VTK-m, it is
recommended to first update to VTK-m 1.9, which will include the deprecated
features but provide warnings (with the right compiler) that will point to
the replacement code. Once the deprecations have been fixed, updating to
2.0 should be smoother.
Previously, `DataSet` managed `CoordinateSystem`s separately from `Field`s.
However, a `CoordinateSystem` is really just a `Field` with some special
attributes. Thus, coordiante systems are now just listed along with the
rest of the fields, and the coordinate systems are simply strings that
point back to the appropriate field. (This was actually the original
concept for `DataSet`, but the coordinate systems were separated from
fields for some now obsolete reasons.)
Previously, point fields compressed by ZFP were attached as point fields
on the output. However, using them as a point field would cause
problems. So, instead attache them as `WholeDataSet` fields.
Also fixed a problem where the 1D decompressor created an output of the
wrong size.
The `VTKM_LOG_SCOPE` macro was not working as intended. It was supposed
to print a log message immediately and then print a second log message
when leaving the scope along with the number of seconds that elapsed
between the two messages.
This was not what was happening. The second log message was being
printed immediately after the first. This is because the scope was taken
inside of the `LogScope` method. The macro has been rewritten to put the
tracking in the right scope.
The name of the methods were changed from `AddGhostCellField` to
`SetGhostCellField` since only one field can be marked as the cell
ghost. Also automatically select a field that matches
`GetGlobalCellFieldName` if nothing else is set.
The basic use of `FieldSelection` is to construct the class with a mode
(`None`, `Any`, `Select`, `Exclude`), and then specify particular fields
based off of this mode. This works fine for basic uses where the same code
that constructs a `FieldSelection` sets all the fields.
But what happens, for example, if you have code that takes an existing
`FieldSelection` and wants to exclude the field named `foo`? If the
`FieldSelection` mode happens to be anything other than `Exclude`, the code
would have to go through several hoops to construct a new `FieldSelection`
object with this modified selection.
To make this case easier, `FieldSelection` now has the ability to specify
the mode independently for each field. The `AddField` method now has an
optional mode argument the specifies whether the mode for that field should
be `Select` or `Exclude`.
In the example above, the code can simply add the `foo` field with the
`Exclude` mode. Regardless of whatever state the `FieldSelection` was in
before, it will now report the `foo` field as not selected.
