There was an error that caused deprecation warnings in VTK-m to be
suppressed, which meant that many uses of deprecated features went
unnoticed. This fixes those deprecation warnings.
The majority of the warnings were caused by the use of the deprecated
`Cast`, `CopyTo`, and `ResetTypes` methods of `UnknownArrayHandle` (or
`VariantArrayHandle`). Both `Cast` and `CopyTo` have been subsumed by
`AsArrayHandle` (to make the functionality more clear). `ResetTypes` now
requires a second template argument to define the storage types to try.
Also fixed some issues with `SerializableField` being deprecated.
This class is no longer necessary because `Field` can now be directly
serialized.
This merge request is Phase 1 of several to implement the distributed parallel
contour tree in VTKm. This merge requests adds the base outline for the
algorithm. The implementation of the details of the algorithm in the
BoundaryRestrictedAugmentedContourTree.h is currently still missing.
However, these will require a substantial (~3000) lines of additional code.
The goal is to stage the integration process across merge requests to make
the review process simpler.
These are caused when using 32-bit Id's. Although there are some
benchmarks that test for this, some code in benchmarking and examples is
not covered by them.
Consumers of VTK-m when enabling of dropping of unused functions
will see VTK-m functions dropped. Previously this didn't happen
as VTK-m didn't build object files with the correct flags for this.
By allowing the linker to remove unused symbols we see a significant
saving the file size of VTK-m tests, examples, and benchmarks.
An OpenMP build of the tests and benchmarks goes from 168MB to
141MB which is roughly a 16% filesize reduction.
Initially I had presumed that these changes would increase link times.
But in measurements the total wall time for compilation of VTK-m has
stayed about the same ( seeing a decrease of 1.5% ). Presumably the
increased computation is offset by the reduction in file writing.
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.
This is a library that contains parts of worklets that can be
precompiled into a library.
Currently, this library contains the implementation of ScatterCounting.
Now that the dispatcher does its own TryExecute, filters do not need to
do that. This change requires all worklets called by filters to be able
to execute without knowing the device a priori.
