As the RuntimeDeviceTracker is a per thread construct we now make
it explicit that you can only get a reference to the per-thread
version and can't copy it.
It is very easy to cause ODR violations with DeviceAdapterTagCuda.
If you include that header from a C++ file and a CUDA file inside
the same program we an ODR violation. The reasons is that the C++
versions will say the tag is invalid, and the CUDA will say the
tag is valid.
The solution to this is that any compilation unit that includes
DeviceAdapterTagCuda from a version of VTK-m that has CUDA enabled
must be invoked by the cuda compiler.
BitFields are:
- Stored in memory using a contiguous buffer of bits.
- Accessible via portals, a la ArrayHandle.
- Portals operate on individual bits or words.
- Operations may be atomic for safe use from concurrent kernels.
The new BitFieldToUnorderedSet device algorithm produces an ArrayHandle
containing the indices of all set bits, in no particular order.
The new AtomicInterface classes provide an abstraction into bitwise
atomic operations across control and execution environments and are used
to implement the BitPortals.

It should be possible to query a vtkm::cont::Timer without modifying it.
As such, its query functions (such as Stopped and GetElapsedTime) should
be const.
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.
`vtkm::cont::testing` now initializes with logging enabled and support
for device being passed on the command line, `vtkm::testing` only
enables logging.
The purpose of the TestBuild infrastructure was to confirm that
VTK-m didn't have any lexical issues when it was a pure header
only project. As we now move to have more compiled components
the need for this form of testing is mitigated. Combined
with the issue of TestBuilds causing MSVC issues, we should
just remove this infrastructure.
Having VTKM_EXEC on algorithms for CPU devices was problematic because
the algorithms were specific to the CPU, but during a CUDA compile it
would try to compile device code (for no reasons since it was never
called on a device).
Remove these identifiers for the idea that a device implementation knows
specifically what function modifiers to use and does not need the VTK-m
defined catch-alls.
This means that we not only setup the runtime device tracker
to force the intended device, it also means making sure
the default device is the error device.
The previous implementation of DeviceAdapterRuntimeDetector caused
multiple differing definitions of the same class to exist and
was causing the runtime device tracker to report CUDA as disabled
when it actually was enabled.
The ODR was caused by having a default implementation for
DeviceAdapterRuntimeDetector and a specific specialization for
CUDA. If a library had both CUDA and C++ sources it would pick up
both implementations and would have undefined behavior. In general
it would think the CUDA backend was disabled.
To avoid this kind of situation in the future I have reworked VTK-m
so that each device adapter must implement DeviceAdapterRuntimeDetector
for that device.
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.
