The file `ArrayRangeCompute.cxx` was taking a long time to compile with
some device compilers. This is because it precompiles the range computation
for many types of array structures. It thus compiled the same operation
many times over.
The new implementation compiles just as many cases. However, the
compilation is split into many different translation units using the
instantiations feature of VTK-m's configuration. Although this rarely
reduces the overall CPU time spent during compiling, it prevents parallel
compiles from waiting for this one build to complete. It also avoids
potential issues with compilers running out of resources as it tries to
build a monolithic file.
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.
When the configure modules were first created, there were some hacks
around filters that had not yet moved to the new filter mechanism. These
can (and should) be removed.
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 commit reflects the changes of VTK-m API/ABI release plans in
which we attempt ABI compatibility in patch releases.
- It also sets the version/soname for diy thirdparty module lib
Recently, an instantiation method was added to the VTK-m configuration
files to set up a set of source files that compile instances of a template.
This allows the template instances to be compiled exactly once in separate
build files.
However, the implementation made the assumption that the instantiations
were happening for VTK-m filters. Now that the VTK-m filters are being
redesigned, this assumption is broken.
Thus, the instantiation code has been redesigned to be more general. It can
now be applied to code within the new filter structure. It can also be
applied anywhere else in the VTK-m source code.
The `vtkm_add_target_information` CMake function has a `DEVICE_SOURCES`
option that allows you to list which sources need to be compiled with a
device compiler. Added some hints to the documentation about which
source code needs to be listed in `DEVICE_SOURCES`.
Some of the unit tests for serial and kokkos are disable for hipcc to
properly compile.
VTKM_MATH_ASSERT and VTKM_TEST_ASSERT fail to compile with HIP in
execution environment so they are disabled with building with HIP.
Kokkos::finalize is causing error so it is temporarily disabled.
When VTKm is used inside another CMAKE project the instatitations will
include its filers with the relative path from the top lever of the
parent project instead of the top level of the VTKm project. This commit
resolves that.
The reason why we did not support shared libraries when CUDA compiles
were on is that virtual methods require a special linking step to pull
together all virtual methods that might be called. I other words, you
cannot call a virtual CUDA method defined inside a library. This
requirement goes away when virtuals are removed.
Also removed the necessity of using seprable compilation with cuda.
Again, this is only needed when a CUDA function is defined in one
translation unit and used in another. Now we can enforce that all
translation units define their own CUDA functions.
Also, suppress warnings in cuda/internal/ExecutionPolicy.h
This is where we call the thrust algorithms. There must be some loop
where it, on some code path, calls back a host function. This must be in
an execution path that never happens. The thrust version has its own
suppress, but that does not seem to actually suppress the warning (it
just means that the warning does not tell you where the actual call is).
Get around the problem by suppressing the warnings in VTK-m.

There is a limitation in Windows builds using VS2019 where libraries cannot be
bigger than 4GiB. This is normally not an issue but in `VTKm` due to its strong
template usage libraries can reach that size.
The `VTKm` filter library is can easily reach that size and it will halt the
build
This MR tries to avoid reaching those sizes for now by splitting the filter
library into four smaller libraries.
The proposal scheme is:
It splits vtkm-filter into:
- vtkm-common, Classes that are dependencies of other filter libs.
- vtkm-contour, Contour class and its instantiations.
- vtkm-contour, Gradient class and its instantiations.
- vtkm-extra, Classes other than Contour or Gradient that are
not dependencies.

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.
Instead of having to be called for each target you can now
pass multiple targets at once. Do note that if you pass multiple
targets you will need to pass all the sources from those targets
that need to be 'device' compiled.
This is a work around while we wait on requiring CMake 3.15 for all
cuda builds. At that point we can replace this with setting
`requires_static_builds` as part of the EXPORT_PROPERTIES of the
vtkm_cuda target.
This has been tested with the ascent proxy

The VTK-m testing infrastructure isn't public facing so it doesn't
need to be installed or clutter the main VTKmWrappers file.
At the same time I have refactored the code to make it clearer
to understand, and remove unused options.
We want the option name to be clear that it might be applicable for
more than just CUDA. If VTK-m ever supported something like SYCL
it would not be clear that those sources should go in `WRAP_FOR_CUDA`.
Previously an installed version of VTK-m wasn't relocatable as
it had system MPI paths. Additionally the installed vtkm_diy target
would depend on MPI but not `find_package(MPI)`
It is very easy to cause ODR violations with DeviceAdapterTagCuda.
If you include that header from a C++ file and a CUDA file inside
the same program we an ODR violation. The reasons is that the C++
versions will say the tag is invalid, and the CUDA will say the
tag is valid.
The solution to this is that any compilation unit that includes
DeviceAdapterTagCuda from a version of VTK-m that has CUDA enabled
must be invoked by the cuda compiler.
We now have a couple of the examples also being built against
the installed version of VTK-m as a test. This allow us to verify
that VTK-m installs and can be found properly.
The purpose of the TestBuild infrastructure was to confirm that
VTK-m didn't have any lexical issues when it was a pure header
only project. As we now move to have more compiled components
the need for this form of testing is mitigated. Combined
with the issue of TestBuilds causing MSVC issues, we should
just remove this infrastructure.
