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.
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.
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.
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.
Previously, DynamicArrayHandle and DynamicCellSet had slightly different
interfaces to their CastTo feature. It was a bit confusing and not all
that easy to use.
This change simplifies and unifies them by making each class have a single
CopyTo method that takes a reference to a cast object (an ArrayHandle or
CellSet, respectively) and fills that object with the data contained if
the cast is successfull. This interface gets around having to declare
strange types.
Each object also has a Cast method that has to have a template parameter
specified and returns a reference of that type (if possible).
In addition, the old behavior is preserved for DynamicArrayHandle (but
not DynamicCellSet). To avoid confusion, the name of that cast method is
CastToTypeStorage. However, the method was chaned to not take parameters
to make it consistent with the other Cast method.
Also, the IsType methods have been modified to reflect changes in
cast/copy. IsType now no longer takes arguments. However, an alternate
IsSameType does the same thing but does take an argument.
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.
