The `ArrayCopy` method has been changed to be precompiled. It handles
most standard array types. But there are some special `ArrayHandle`
types that are not correctly handled, and these go to a slow fallback.
Find places in the code that use that fallback and fix them.
There are also some instances of replacing an `ArrayHandleCounting` with
an `ArrayHandleIndex`. This change is probably not strictly necessary to
make the `ArrayCopy` faster, but when it can be used `ArrayHandleIndex`
is generally better.
Previously, the `MapFieldMergeAverage` and `MapFieldPermutation` helper
function had to iterate over every possible type and create a separate
code path. This change uses the new extract component functionality to
create separate code paths only for different component types. This both
requires less code (the common filter library dropped from 66MB to 42MB
on my Mac) and covers more cases (such as `Vec`s larger than 4
components).
To make the implementation easier, `UnknownArrayHandle` now can create a
new `UnknownArrayHandle` of the same `ValueType` but with the basic
storage (so you can work with read-only storage) and the ability to
allocate the unknown array.
`CoordinateSystem` differed from `Field` in that its `GetData`
method returned an `ArrayHandleVirtualCoordinates` instead of
a `VariantArrayHandle`. This is probably confusing since
`CoordianteSystem` inherits `Field` and has a pretty dramatic
difference in this behavior.
In preparation to deprecate `ArrayHandleVirtualCoordinates`, this
changes `CoordiantSystem` to be much more like `Field`. (In the
future, we may change the `CoordinateSystem` to point to a `Field`
rather than be a special `Field`.)
A method named `GetDataAsMultiplexer` has been added to
`CoordinateSystem`. This method allows you to get data from
`CoordinateSystem` as a single array type without worrying
about creating functors to handle different types and without
needing virtual methods.
The only reason Keys has a template is so that it can hold a UniqueKeys
array and provide the key for each group. If that is not needed and you
want to implement a library function that takes a keys object, you can
now grab the Keys superclass KeysBase. KeysBase is not templated, so you
can pass it to a standard method in a library.
Now that UInt8 has become part of the list of default types compiled,
there have been numerous warnings that have popped up about converting
ints to unsigned char. The reason for these is when you do arithmetic
(+, -, *, or /) on a char or short, it is automatically upconverted to a
32-bit integer. When you then try to set that back to a smaller integer,
you get a conversion warning.
This change gets around this problem by explicitly telling the compiler
we expect this type with static_cast. We have also talked about
disabling conversion warnings, but this has not happened on all
dashboards, and it is not that hard to work around the warning.
To get the average, we (of course) divide the sum by the amount of
values, which is returned from valuesIn.GetNumberOfComponents(). To do
this, we need to cast the number of components (returned as a
vtkm::IdComponent) to a FieldType. This is a little more complex than it
first seems because FieldType might be a Vec type. If you just try a
static_cast<FieldType>(), it will use the constructor to FieldType which
might be a Vec constructor expecting the type of the component. This in
turn could cause a warning because the vtkm::IdComponent is implicitly
converted to the Vec's component type.
Get around this problem by first casting to the component type of the
field and then constructing a field value from that.
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.
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.
The AverageByKey.h header file had a single function that used the
device adapter algorithm ReduceByKey method to do a simple averaging of
a field. I added a second method that can do an average when given a
vtkm::worklet::Keys object. I expect this to be a common use case as we
implement transforming fields from input to output in many algorithms.
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.
VertexClustering previously only worked with data of a specific floating
point type (32 bit for point coordinates). Add some templates to accept
either 32 bit or 64 bit floating points for point coordintes and be a
bit more careful about implicit type conversions.
I also made some changes to conform better with the VTK-m coding
standards. The most common changes are using 2 space indentation for all
block levels, capitolizing and using camel case for all class members,
and prefixing "this->" to all use of internal class members.
