VTK-m has been updated to replace old per device benchmark executables with a device
dependent shared library so that it's able to accept a device adapter at runtime through
the "--device=" argument.
Mask objects allow you to specify which output values should be
generated when a worklet is run. That is, the Mask allows you to skip
the invocation of a worklet for any number of outputs.
The ArrayPortalValueReference is supposed to behave just like the value
it encapsulates and does so by automatically converting to the base type
when necessary. However, when it is possible to convert that to
something else, it is possible to get errors about ambiguous overloads.
To avoid these, add specialized versions of the operators to specify
which ones should be used.
Also consolidated the CUDA version of an ArrayPortalValueReference to the
standard one. The two implementations were equivalent and we would like
changes to apply to both.
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.
The kernel launch component of the runtime device adapter is fairly
pointless. If the hardware supports CUDA we should expect that
VTK-m has the correct kernel versions.
Plus in the original version if the CUDA device was being used
and the kernel launch returns cudaErrorDevicesUnavailable it
was never possible to restore CUDA support. Now what happens
is that the runtime tracker is marked as failed, but the
calling code can always go back and trying the device again.
When you call VariantArrayHandle::CastAndCall, it now tries both basic
storage and virtual storage. You can modify the types of storages tried
by giving a type list of storage tags as the first argument.
The script fixed up most of the issues. However, there were some
instances that the script was not able to pick up on. There were
also some instances that still needed a means to select types.
Previously you had to exactly match the case of a device adapter's name to
construct it, which was a source of lots of problems ( OpenMP versus OPENMP, CUDA or Cuda ).
Now `vtkm::cont::make_DeviceAdapterId` and `vtkm::cont::RuntimeDeviceTracker` support
case-insensitive device construction.
Also
- Renamed vtkm::cont::make_DeviceAdapterIdFromName to just overload
make_DeviceAdapterId.
- Refactored CMake logic for unit tests
- Since we're now querying the device tracker for the names, they
cannot be all caps.
- Updated usages of InitLogging to use Initialize instead.
- Added changelog.
VTK-m has been updated to replace old per device worklet testing executables with a device
dependent shared library so that it's able to accept a device adapter
at runtime.
Meanwhile, it updates the testing infrastructure APIs. vtkm::cont::testing::Run
function would call ForceDevice when needed and if users need the device
adapter info at runtime, RunOnDevice function would pass the adapter into the functor.
Optional Parser is bumped from 1.3 to 1.7.
By making RuntimeDeviceInformation class template independent, vtkm is
able to detect
device info at runtime with a runtime specified deviceId. In the past
it's impossible
because the CRTP pattern does not allow function overloading(compiler
would complain
that DeviceAdapterRuntimeDetector does not have Exists() function
defined).
It's a filter that Split sharp manifold edges where the feature angle
between the adjacent surfaces are larger than the threshold value.
When an edge is split, it would add a new point to the coordinates
and update the connectivity of an adjacent surface.
Ex. there are two adjacent triangles(0,1,2) and (2,1,3). Edge (1,2) needs
to be split. Two new points 4(duplication of point 1) an 5(duplication of point 2)
would be added and the later triangle's connectivity would be changed
to (5,4,3).
By default, all old point's fields would be copied to the new point.
Use with caution.
The VTKM_TEST_ASSERT macro is a very useful tool for performing checks
in tests. However, it is rather annoying to have to always specify a
message for the assert. Often the failure is self evident from the
condition (which is already printed out), and specifying a message is
both repetative and annoying.
Also, it is often equally annoying to print out additional information
in the case of an assertion failure. In that case, you have to either
attach a debugger or add a printf, see the problem, and remove the
printf.
This change solves both of these problems. VTKM_TEST_ASSERT now takes a
condition and a variable number of message arguments. If no message
arguments are given, then a default message (along with the condition)
are output. If multiple message arguments are given, they are appended
together in the result. The messages do not have to be strings. Any
object that can be sent to a stream will be printed correctly. This
allows you to print out the values that caused the issue.
This is a subclass of ExecutionObject and a superset of its
functionality. In addition to having a PrepareForExecution method, it
also has a PrepareForControl method that gets an object appropriate for
the control environment. This is helpful for situations where you need
code to work in both environments, such as the functor in an
ArrayHandleTransform.
Also added several runtime checks for execution objects and execution
and cotnrol objects.
This change allows you to set a subclass of
vtkm::cont::ExecutionObjectBase as a functor
used in ArrayHandleTransform. This latter class will then detect that
the functor is an ExecObject and will call PrepareForExecution with the
appropriate device to get the actual Functor object.
This change allows you to use virtual objects and other device dependent
objects as functors for ArrayHandleTransform without knowing a priori
what device the portal will be used on.
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.

By setting the environment variable "VTKM_MANAGEDMEMO_DISABLED" to be 1,
users are able to disable CUDA managed memory even though the hardware is
capable of doing so.
The auto code formatting doesn't capture the entire VTK-m style
and developers should know the style before they open a merge request
and get a billion warnings.
The changelog is updated to replace initializer list changes with
variadic constructors and constexpr changes.
