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.
Even if an error condition occurs, the output parameter should be
initialized to something. This makes the behavior predicatable on error
conditions and prevents uninitialized variable warnings.
This is a flag that functions in the execution environment can return to
report on the status of the operation. This way they can report an error
without forcing the entire invocation to shut down.
This commit also:
- Removes a corner case not longer used at ArrayPortalGroupVecVariable::get
- Changes doc regarding the number of offset elements in the input
array handler of ConvertNumComponentsToOffsets.
- Updates invokation of make_ArrayGroupVectVariable in multiple files
- Adds its corresponding changelog entry
Replace code such as `myArray.GetPortalControl().Get(0)` with
`vtkm::cont::ArrayGetValue(0, myArray)`, which will just retrieve
the single value without transferring the entire contents of
`myArray` to the host. This should prevent memory thrashing.
Also did some general style clean-ups and fixed loops that called
`GetPortalControl` in the loop body.
The `From` and `To` nomenclature for topology mapping has been confusing for
both users and developers, especially at lower levels where the intention of
mapping attributes from one element to another is easily conflated with the
concept of mapping indices (which maps in the exact opposite direction).
These identifiers have been renamed to `VisitTopology` and `IncidentTopology`
to clarify the direction of the mapping. The order in which these template
parameters are specified for `WorkletMapTopology` have also been reversed,
since eventually there may be more than one `IncidentTopology`, and having
`IncidentTopology` at the end will allow us to replace it with a variadic
template parameter pack in the future.
Other implementation details supporting these worklets, include `Fetch` tags,
`Connectivity` classes, and methods on the various `CellSet` classes (such as
`PrepareForInput` have also reversed their template arguments. These will need
to be cautiously updated.
The convenience implementations of `WorkletMapTopology` have been renamed for
clarity as follows:
```
WorkletMapPointToCell --> WorkletVisitCellsWithPoints
WorkletMapCellToPoint --> WorkletVisitPointsWithCells
```
The `ControlSignature` tags have been renamed as follows:
```
FieldInTo --> FieldInVisit
FieldInFrom --> FieldInMap
FromCount --> IncidentElementCount
FromIndices --> IncidentElementIndices
```
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.
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.
Previously, when a Worklet needed a scatter, the scatter object was
stored in the Worklet object. That was problematic because that means
the Scatter, which is a control object, was shoved into the execution
environment.
To prevent that, move the Scatter into the Dispatcher object. The
worklet still declares a ScatterType alias, but no longer has a
GetScatter method. Instead, the Dispatcher now takes a Scatter object in
its constructor. If using the default scatter (ScatterIdentity), the
default constructor is used. If using another type of Scatter that
requires data to set up its state, then the caller of the worklet needs
to provide that to the dispatcher. For convenience, worklets are
encouraged to have a MakeScatter method to help construct a proper
scatter object.
Due to recent changes to remove static arrays that are not supported on
some devices, the function to return all the local point indices on a
face was removed. That left no way to get the structure of cell faces
short of pulling an internal data structure.
This change resurrects a function to get point indices for a face. The
interface for this method has necessarily changed, so I also changed the
corresponding function for getting edge indices.
These changes now allow VTK-m to compile on CUDA 7.5 by using const arrays,
when compiling with CUDA 8+ support we upgrade to static const arrays, and
lastly when CUDA is disabled we fully elevate to static constexpr.
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 external faces filter and worklet now pass input
PolyData (0D, 1D, and 2D) cells to the output. The external
faces filter has a flag to control this output (PassPolyData).
Added tests to the external faces filter and worklet.
Added new Run method to External Faces worklet to support
uniform and rectilinear grids, taking advantage of the grids
regular strucuture to speed-up computation.
Changed External Faces filter to call the proper Run method
in the External Faces worklet based on cell set type.
Added tests for uniform and rectilinear grids to External Faces
filter unit test.
Previously, ExternalFaces really only supported tetrahedral meshes that
have only triangular faces. These changes support all mixes of cells and
their faces.
The CellSetExplicit and CellSetSingleType classes have an ivar that
marks the number of points. There were several instances of code
creating cell sets without specifying the number of points. This can be
very bad if subsequent code needs that information.
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.
The names of the cell shapes and header files changed superficially. The
check in missed the clip and external faces. Update that code.
There are also some less superficial changes that allow you to manage
cell shapes with tags. It might be worthwhile to update this code to use
that new infrastructure.
