The `VecTraits` class allows templated functions, methods, and classes to
treat type arguments uniformly as `Vec` types or to otherwise differentiate
between scalar and vector types. This only works for types that `VecTraits`
is defined for.
The `VecTraits` templated class now has a default implementation that will
be used for any type that does not have a `VecTraits` specialization. This
removes many surprise compiler errors when using a template that, unknown
to you, has `VecTraits` in its implementation.
One potential issue is that if `VecTraits` gets defined for a new type, the
behavior of `VecTraits` could change for that type in backward-incompatible
ways. If `VecTraits` is used in a purely generic way, this should not be an
issue. However, if assumptions were made about the components and length,
this could cause problems.
Fixes#589
The precompiled `ArrayRangeCompute` function was not following proper fast
paths for special arrays. For example, when computing the range of an
`ArrayHandleUniformPointCoordinates`, the ranges should be taken from the
origin and spacing of the special array. However, the precompiled version
was calling the generic range computation, which was doing an unnecessary
reduction over the entire array. These fast paths have been fixed.
These mistakes in the code were caused by quirks in how templated method
overloading works. To prevent this mistake from happening again in the
precompiled `ArrayRangeCompute` function and elsewhere, all templated forms
of `ArrayRangeCompute` have been deprecated. Most will call
`ArrayRangeCompute` with no issues. For those that need the templated
version, `ArrayRangeComputeTemplate` replaces the old templated
`ArrayRangeCompute`. There is exactly one templated declaration of
`ArrayRangeComputeTemplate` that uses a class, `ArrayRangeComputeImpl`,
with partial specialization to ensure the correct form is used.
`vtkm::cont::DataSet` is a dynamic object that can hold cell sets and
fields of many different types, none of which are known until runtime. This
causes a problem with serialization, which has to know what type to compile
the serialization for, particularly when unserializing the type at the
receiving end. The original implementation "solved" the problem by creating
a secondary wrapper object that was templated on types of field arrays and
cell sets that might be serialized. This is not a great solution as it
punts the problem to algorithm developers.
This problem has been completely solved for fields, as it is possible to
serialize most types of arrays without knowing their type now. You still
need to iterate over every possible `CellSet` type, but there are not that
many `CellSet`s that are practically encountered. Thus, there is now a
direct implementation of `Serialization` for `DataSet` that covers all the
data types you are likely to encounter.
The old `SerializableDataSet` has been deprecated. In the unlikely event an
algorithm needs to transfer a non-standard type of `CellSet` (such as a
permuted cell set), it can use the replacement `DataSetWithCellSetTypes`,
which just specifies the cell set types.
The `UnknownArrayHandle` has been updated to allow
`ArrayHandleRuntimeVec` to work interchangeably with basic
`ArrayHandle`. If an `ArrayHandleRuntimeVec` is put into an
`UnknownArrayHandle`, it can be later retrieved as an `ArrayHandleBasic`
as long as the base component type matches and it has the correct amount
of components. This means that an array can be created as an
`ArrayHandleRuntimeVec` and be used with any filters or most other
features designed to operate on basic `ArrayHandle`s. Likewise, an array
added as a basic `ArrayHandle` can be retrieved in an
`ArrayHandleRuntimeVec`. This makes it easier to pull arrays from VTK-m
and place them in external structures (such as `vtkDataArray`).
The new `ArrayHandleRuntimeVec` is a fancy `ArrayHandle` allows you to
specify a basic array of `Vec`s where the number of components of the `Vec`
are not known until runtime. (It can also optionally specify scalars.) The
behavior is much like that of `ArrayHandleGroupVecVariable` except that its
representation is much more constrained. This constrained representation
allows it to be automatically converted to an `ArrayHandleBasic` with the
proper `Vec` value type. This allows one part of code (such as a file
reader) to create an array with any `Vec` size, and then that array can be
fed to an algorithm that expects an `ArrayHandleBasic` of a certain value
type.
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.
The `GetNumberOfComponents` and `GetNumberOfComponentsFlat` methods in
`UnknownArrayHandle` have been updated to correctly report the number of
components in special `ArrayHandle`s where the `Vec` sizes of the values
are not selected until runtime.
Previously, these methods always reported 0 because the value type could
not report the size of the `Vec`. The lookup has been modified to query the
`ArrayHandle`'s `Storage` for the number of components where supported.
Note that this only works on `Storage` that provides a method to get the
runtime `Vec` size. If that is not provided, as will be the case if the
number of components can vary from one value to the next, it will still
report 0.
This feature is implemented by looking for a method named
`GetNumberOfComponents` is the `Storage` class for the `ArrayHandle`. If
this method is found, it is used to query the size at runtime.
Previously, `VectorMagnitude` only worked with `Vec`s of size 2, 3, or
4. It now works with `Vec`s of any size. It also avoids a memory copy of
non-float types (although it does add a little arithmetic in the
computation).
Previously, the probe filter only worked on certain `Vec` sizes and
converted many types to floating point.
This change uses the extract component feature to pull data from any
array at its natural component type.
The bad part of this change is that it has to call the worklet
separately for each component in the field. That adds overhead and
probably lowers the cache efficiency. It was implemented this way
because the cell interpolation function does not work with the
recombined vecs returned from extract array.
The previous version of the `PointAverage` filter used a float fallback
to handle most array types. The problem with this approach other than
converting field types perhaps unexpectantly is that it does not work
with every `Vec` size. This change uses the extract by component feature
of `UnknownArrayHandle` to handle every array type.
To implement this change the `PointAverage` worklet had to be changed to
handle recombined vecs. This change resulted in a feature degridation
where it can no longer be compiled for inputs of incompatible `Vec`
sizes. This feature dates back to when worklets like this were exposed
in the interface. This worklet class is now hidden away from the exposed
interface, so this degredation should not affect end users. There are
some unit tests that use this worklet to test other features, and these
had to be updated.

Use the `MapFieldPermutation` function when mapping point coordinates
for points that are removed. (This function was already being used for
the rest of the fields.) Also remove some unneeded code in the

Use the extract component functionality to get data from any type of
array. This prevents converting fields to `vtkm::DefaultFloat` and
supports any size `Vec` in the component.
The previous implementation of the map field in the clip filters
(`ClipWithField` and `ClipWithImplicitFunction`) checked for common field
types and interpolated those. If the field value type did not match, it
would either convert the field to floats (which is at odds with what VTK
does) or fail outright if the `Vec` length is not supported.
The map field function for clip has been changed to support all possible
types. It does this by using the extract component functionality to get
data from any type of array.
When you use an `ArrayHandle` as an output array in a worklet (for example,
as a `FieldOut`), the fetch operation does not read values from the array
during the `Load`. Instead, it just constructs a new object. This makes
sense as an output array is expected to have garbage in it anyway.
This is a problem for some special arrays that contain `Vec`-like objects
that are sized dynamically. For example, if you use an
`ArrayHandleGroupVecVariable`, each entry is a dynamically sized `Vec`. The
array is referenced by creating a special version of `Vec` that holds a
reference to the array portal and an index. Components are retrieved and
set by accessing the memory in the array portal. This allows us to have a
dynamically sized `Vec` in the execution environment without having to
allocate within the worklet.
The problem comes when we want to use one of these arrays with `Vec`-like
objects for an output. The typical fetch fails because you cannot construct
one of these `Vec`-like objects without an array portal to bind it to. In
these cases, we need the fetch to create the `Vec`-like object by reading
it from the array. Even though the data will be garbage, you get the
necessary buffer into the array (and nothing more).
Previously, the problem was fixed by creating partial specializations of
the `Fetch` for these `ArrayHandle`s. This worked OK as long as you were
using the array directly. However, the approach failed if the `ArrayHandle`
was wrapped in another `ArrayHandle` (for example, if an `ArrayHandleView`
was applied to an `ArrayHandleGroupVecVariable`).
To get around this problem and simplify things, the basic `Fetch` for
direct output arrays is changed to handle all cases where the values in the
`ArrayHandle` cannot be directly constructed. A compile-time check of the
array's value type is checked with `std::is_default_constructible`. If it
can be constructed, then the array is not accessed. If it cannot be
constructed, then it grabs a value out of the array.
This feature enables the ability to anonomously create an array (such as
with `UnknownArrayHandle::NewInstance()`) and then use that as an output
array. Although resizing `ArrayHandleStride` is a little wonky, it
allows worklets to resize them after creation rather than having to know
what size to make and allocating the array.
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.
Added a name option that allows the same benchmark executable to be used

Also added an option to pass customized arguments to the benchmark
executable to overwrite the default values.

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.
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.

It is possible in a `DataSet` to add a point field (or coordinate system)
that has a different number of points than reported in the cell set.
Likewise for the number of cells in cell fields. This is very bad practice
because it is likely to lead to crashes in worklets that are expecting
arrays of an appropriate length.
Although `DataSet` will still allow this, a warning will be added to the
VTK-m logging to alert users of the inconsistency introduced into the
`DataSet`. Since warnings are by default printed to standard error, users
are likely to see it.
The field being created by `ParticleDensityNearestGridPoint` was supposed
to be associated with cells, but it was sized to the number of points.
Although the number of points will always be more than the number of cells
(so the array will be big enough), having inappropriately sized arrays can
cause further problems downstream.
When managing portals in the execution environment, `ArrayHandle` uses the
`Token` object to ensure that the memory associated with a portal exists
for the length of time that it is needed. This is done by creating the
portal with a `Token` object, and the associated portal objects are
guaranteed to be valid while that `Token` object exists. This is supported
by essentially locking the array from further changes.
`Token` objects are typically used when creating a control-side portal with
the `ReadPortal` or `WritePortal`. This is not to say that a `Token` would
not be useful; a control-side portal going out of scope is definitely a
problem. But the creation and distruction of portals in the control
environment is generally too much work for the possible benefits.
However, under certain circumstances it could be useful to use a `Token` to
get a control-side portal. For example, if the `PrepareForExecution` method
of an `ExecutionObjectBase` needs to fill a small `ArrayHandle` on the
control side to pass to the execution side, it would be better to use the
provided `Token` object when doing so. This change allows you to optionally
provide that `Token` when creating these control-side portals.
For several versions, VTK-m has had a `Variant` templated class. This acts
like a templated union where the object will store one of a list of types
specified as the template arguments. (There are actually 2 versions for the
control and execution environments, respectively.)
Because this is a complex class that required several iterations to work
through performance and compiler issues, `Variant` was placed in the
`internal` namespace to avoid complications with backward compatibility.
However, the class has been stable for a while, so let us expose this
helpful tool for wider use.
The `Tube` filter wraps a tube of polygons around poly line cells.
During this process it had a strange (and wrong) handling of cell data.
It assumed that each line had an independent field entry for each
segment of each line. It thus had lots of extra code to find the length
and offsets of the segment data in the cell data.
This is simply not how cell fields work in VTK-m. In VTK-m, each cell
has exactly one entry in the cell field array. Even if a polyline has
100 segments, it only gets one cell field value. This behavior is
consistent with how VTK treats cell field arrays.
The behavior the `Tube` filter was trying to implement was closer to an
"edge" field. However, edge fields are currently not supported in VTK-m.
The proper implementation would be to add edge fields to VTK-m. (This
would also get around some problems with the implementation that was
removed here when mixing polylines with other cell types and degenerate
lines.)
The legacy VTK reader sometimes has to permute cell data because some
VTK cells are not directly supported in VTK-m. (For example, triangle
strips are not supported. They have to be converted to triangles.)
The global and petigree identifiers were not properly getting permuted.
This is now fixed.
Several revisions ago, the ability to use virtual methods in the
execution environment was deprecated. Completely remove this
functionality for the VTK-m 2.0 release.
`ExecutionWholeArray` is an archaic class in VTK-m that is a thin wrapper
around an array portal. In the early days of VTK-m, this class was used to
transfer whole arrays to the execution environment. However, now the
supported method is to use `WholeArray*` tags in the `ControlSignature` of
a worklet.
Nevertheless, the `WholeArray*` tags caused the array portal transferred to
the worklet to be wrapped inside of an `ExecutionWholeArray` class. This
is unnecessary and can cause confusion about the types of data being used.
Most code is unaffected by this change. Some code that had to work around
the issue of the portal wrapped in another class used the `GetPortal`
method which is no longer needed (for obvious reasons). One extra feature
that `ExecutionWholeArray` had was that it provided an subscript operator
(somewhat incorrectly). Thus, any use of '[..]' to index the array portal
have to be changed to use the `Get` method.
There is a Makefile include, `vtkm_config.mk`, and a package include,
`vtkm.pc`, that are configured so that external programs that do not use
CMake have a way of importing VTK-m's configuration. However, the set of
libraries was hardcoded. In particular, many of the new filter libraries
were missing.
Rather than try to maintain this list manually, use the module mechanism
in the CMake configuration to get a list of libraries built and
automatically build these lists.
This mechanism sets up CMake variables that allow a user to select which
modules/libraries to create. Dependencies will be tracked down to ensure
that all of a module's dependencies are also enabled.
The modules are also arranged into groups.
Groups allow you to set the enable flag for a group of modules at once.
Thus, if you have several modules that are likely to be used together,
you can create a group for them.
This can be handy in converting user-friendly CMake options (such as
`VTKm_ENABLE_RENDERING`) to the modules that enable that by pointing to
the appropriate group.
This has the side effect of initialing MPI_Init (and will also
call MPI_Finalize at program exit). However, if the calling
code has already called MPI_Init, then nothing will happen.
Thus, if the calling code wants to manage MPI_Init/Finalize,
it can do so as long as it does before it initializes VTK-m.
There was a bug with Flying Edges checking the boundary conditions in
the z-direction. It was comparing the z index to the size of the y
dimension, not the z dimension. This simple typo was probably missed
because most of the tests use square meshes. To catch the problem, you
need a mesh that has a different number of points in the y and z
directions and the contour has to go past the positive z boundary.
When this error was hit, the indices for the edges on that boundary were
not recorded, and later interpolation used garbage values for edge's
point ids.
The `Variant` class was missing a way to check the type. You could do it
indirectly using `variant.GetIndex() == variant.GetIndexOf<T>()`, but
having this convenience function is more clear.

Previously, the number of buffers held by an `ArrayHandle` had to be
determined statically at compile time by the storage. Most of the time
this is fine. However, there are some exceptions where the number of
buffers need to be selected at runtime. For example, the
`ArrayHandleRecombineVec` does not specify the number of components it
uses, and it needed a hack where it stored buffers in the metadata of
another buffer, which is bad.
This change allows the number of buffers to vary at runtime (at least at
construction). The buffers were already managed in a `std::vector`. It
now no longer forces the vector to be a specific size.
`GetNumberOfBuffers` was removed from the `Storage`. Instead, if the
number of buffers was not specified at construction, an allocation of
size 0 is done to create default buffers.
The biggest change is to the interface of the storage object methods,
which now take `std::vector` instead of pointers to `Buffer` objects.
This adds a little hastle in having to copy subsets of this `vector`
when a storage object has multiple sub-arrays. But it does simplify some
of the templating.
The `vtkm_unit_tests` function in the CMake build now allows you to specify
which files need to be compiled with a device compiler using the
`DEVICE_SOURCES` argument. Previously, the only way to specify that unit
tests needed to be compiled with a device compiler was to use the
`ALL_BACKENDS` argument, which would automatically compile everything with
the device compiler as well as test the code on all backends.
`ALL_BACKENDS` is still supported, but it no longer changes the sources to
be compiled with the device compiler.
The legacy VTK file reader for unstructured grids had a bug when reading
cells of type voxel. VTK-m does not support the voxel cell type in
unstructured grids (i.e. explicit cell sets), so it has to convert them to
hexahedron cells. A bug in the reader was mangling the cell array index
during this conversion.
It is the case that arrays might be deallocated from a device after the
device is closed. This can happen, for example, when an `ArrayHandle` is
declared globally. It gets constructed before VTK-m is initialized. This
is OK as long as you do not otherwise use it until VTK-m is initialized.
However, if you use that `ArrayHandle` to move data to a device and that
data is left on the device when the object closes, then the
`ArrayHandle` will be left holding a reference to invalid device memory
once the device is shut down. This can cause problems when the
`ArrayHandle` destructs itself and attempts to release this memory.
The VTK-m devices should gracefully handle deallocations that happen
after device shutdown.
`UnknownArrayHandle` compares `std::type_index` objects to check whether a
requested type is the same as that held in the array handle. However, it is
possible that different translation units can create different but
equivalent `std::type_info`/`std::type_index` objects. In this case, the
`==` operator might return false for two equivalent types. This can happen
on OSX.
To get around this problem, `UnknownArrayHandle` now does a more extensive
check for `std::type_info` object. It first uses the `==` operator to
compare them (as before), which usually works but can possibly return
`false` when the correct result is `true`. To check for this case, it then
compares the name for the two types and returns `true` iff the two names
are the same.
