Previously we hinted to the compiler that it should vectorized operations
where the input and output are the same array. This obviously caused problems,
and these hints had to be removed.
In the future we need to first check for aliased arrays, and go from there.
Even when running with the serial backend, the compiler might enable SIMD
vectorization when optimizations are turned on. When this occurs, we need
to use properly atomic Add's and CAE's.
Previously each device adapter only had a unique string name. This was
not the best when it came to developing data structures to track the status
of a given device at runtime.
This adds in a unique numeric identifier to each device adapter. This will
allow classes to easily create bitmasks / lookup tables for the validity of
devices.
When writing multiple backend code users of vtkm need to use the
DeviceAdapterTraits classes, so therefore we should move them to vtkm::cont
to signify this.
Array transforms can now be created with an inverse functor, allowing for
casts back into the native array type. As a result, array transforms with
both a functor and inverse functor defined can perform read and write
operations. As an example, ArrayHandleCast now supports this operation. The
original implementation of ArrayHandleCast (i.e. read only) has been renamed
'ArrayHandleCastForInput'.
This now allows for even more efficient construction of uniform point
coordinates when running under the 3d scheduler, since we don't need to go
from 3d index to flat index to 3d index, instead we stay in 3d index

Even when using implicit index's the ConnectivityExplicit would generate
the code to compute the IndexOffsets, which would than fail to compile as
the ArrayHandle would only support read operations. This fixes that issue.

Xcode 7 warnings
The XCode 7 compiler has a new warning for unused typedefs. The Boost code we use has some instances where this warning gets issued. Suppress these warnings.
See merge request !199
This is to be used in place of BOOST_STATIC_ASSERT so that we can
control its implementation.
The implementation is designed to fix the issue where the latest XCode
clang compiler gives a warning about a unused typedefs when the boost
static assert is used within a function. (This warning also happens when
using the C++11 static_assert keyword.) You can suppress this warning
with _Pragma commands, but _Pragma commands inside a block is not
supported in GCC. The implementation of VTKM_STATIC_ASSERT handles all
current cases.
ArrayHandles in DAX have a CopyInto function which allows the user to copy an array handle's data into a compatible STL type iterator. Originally this was fairly straight forward to implement since array handles in DAX are templated on the DeviceAdapterTag. In contrast, VTKm array handles use a polymorphic ArrayHandleExecutionManager under the hood allowing a single array handle to interface with multiple devices at runtime. To achieve this virtual functions are used. This makes implementing the CopyInto function difficult since it is templated on the IteratorType and virtual functions cannot be templated.
To work around this, I've implemented a concrete templated CopyInto function in the class derived from ArrayHandleExecutionManagerBase. In the ArrayHandle class, CopyInto dynamically casts the base class into the derived class, then calls the CopyInto function defined in the derived class.
The drawback to this approach is that, should the user define their own class that inherits from ArrayHandleExectionManagerBase, they are not forced to implement the CopyInto function, unlike the other virtual functions.

Previously it was really hard to verify if a device adapter was valid. Since
you would have to check for the existence of the tag. Now the tag always
exists, but instead you query the traits of the DeviceAdapter to see if
it is a valid adapter.
This makes compiling with multiple backends alot easier.
The boost assert macros seem to have an issue where they define an
unused typedef. This is causing the XCode 7 compiler to issue a warning.
Since the offending code is in a macro, the warning is identified with
the VTK-m header even though the code is in boost. To get around this,
wrap all uses of the boost assert that is causing the warning in the
third party pre/post macros to disable the warning.
The idea of the PointCoordinate classes was to make it easier to define
new special types of point coordinate arrays. But ultimately you have to
create an array handle type, and the CoordinateSystem class pretty much
handles everything else for you. Thus, these classes where being used
nowhere.
My version of the PGI compiler was having problems with using
IteratorFromArrayPortal with STL algorithms. I traced the problem to
iterator_facade checking to see if the reference type we gave it was
a real reference (e.g. T&). It is not, iterator_facade downgraded the
iterator trait to a simple input iterator tag even though I declared
it with a random access traversal. I don't know what the reference type
has to do with random access, but in any case the value object is
designed to behave like a reference in that when you assign to it
the value gets propagated to the array. To tell boost this is the case,
I made a specialization of boost::is_reference that declares the
value type as a reference.
I'm not sure why it failed for me but not elsewhere. It might be that
this version of the PGI compiler is using "old-style" iterator traits
whereas other were using newer style that matches better the boost
iterator traits that iterator_facade is actually using.
Clean up CellSet
Underneath the CellSet implementation is a set of supporting classes that manage the actual structure in both the control and execution environments. However, the implementation of these classes was a bit confusing and inconsistent. The following changes are made:
* Most significantly, there is no longer any Connectivity classes in the control environment. This functionality has been wrapped up into the CellSet classes, which is more consistent and easier to understand. (There was a definite distinction between CellSet and Connectivity, but it was subtle and difficult to understand.) This also means that edits to CellSets happen to CellSets directly.
* The set of classes for structured and explicit cell sets match. There is different functionality within, but the class naming and meaning are consistent.
* Make the class names more consistent with the rest of VTK-m class names. Specifically classes like ExplicitConnectivity become ConnectivityExplicit. Also, the words regular and structured were being used interchangeably. Now, always use structured except when dealing specifically with grids of regular spacing.
* The connectivity classes were using the nomenclature "From" and "To" to specify topological elements of links. The same concept in worklet classes were using the nomenclature "Src" and "Dest." For consistency, all references are changed to "From" and "To".
* Unlike explicit cell sets, structured cell sets have functionality shared between control and execution environments. Rather than duplicate it or create unique exposed classes, have a shared internal implementation in vtkm::internal.
See merge request !117
(Re-) Add a helper structure that holds the connectivity information for
a particular topology connection (e.g. from points to cells) to make it
easier to manage connections in multiple different directions in
CellSetExplicit.
Unlike the previous version of connectivity, this structure is
considered "internal" and not exposed through the API so that
CellSetExplicit can better manage the data. Also, many of the helper
methods remain in CellSetExplicit since they were specific for point-to-
Also, CellSetExplicit has a mechanism to take an arbitrary pair of
TopologyElementTags and get the appropriate connectivity. This should
simplify adding connections in the future.
On one of my compile platforms, GCC was giving conversion warnings from
any boost include that was not wrapped in pragmas to disable conversion
warnings. To make things easier and more robust, I created a pair of
macros, VTKM_BOOST_PRE_INCLUDE and VTKM_BOOST_POST_INCLUDE, that should
be wrapped around any #include of a boost header file.
DynamicCellSet
Add a ```DynamicCellSet``` class to use in place of raw pointers or boost ```smart_ptr```s to make managing the anonymous class and casting easier.
See merge request !103
Previously, IteratorFromArrayPortal was declaring its difference_type
to be vtkm::Id. Although this is allowed, there is code that assumes
that iterators have a difference_type that is ptrdiff_t or something
similar. This change makes the difference_type the default for the
boost iterator facade, which should be the type other code that\
neglects to check expects.
The DynamicCellSet will be used in place of the pointer to a CellSet
in a DataSet. This will prevent us from having to cast it all the time
and also remove reliance on boost smart_ptr.
Correct type for the output portal in DeviceAdapterAlgorithmGeneral::UpperBounds
It looks like the type here was accidently written as a `ArrayHandle<T, COut>` when it should (I think) be `ArrayHandle<vtkm::Id, COut>`. I Encountered this causing a compilation error when trying to run some
benchmarks with FloatDefault input and values since it was using the
wrong type for some iterators if I recall correctly and couldn't cast to the vtkm::Id
type. This should fix that by using the correct type for the output
portal.
See merge request !75
Sometimes it is useful to know how big an array held in a
DynamicArrayHandle is. This adds two methods to DynamicArrayHandle:
GetNumberOfValues and GetNumberOfComponents. They allow you to query the
size of the array without having to statically cast to the array itself.
Encountered this causing a compilation error when trying to run some
benchmarks with FloatDefault input and values since it was using the
wrong type for some iterators iirc and couldn't cast to the vtkm::Id
type. This should fix that by using the correct type for the output
portal.
ArrayPortalFromIterators uses the GetIteratorBegin method signature.
This makes all the custom ArrayPortals have the same syntax,
which is nice when writing new backends.

This is the first step to having better 3d scheduling for the serial backend.
While this doesn't improve the performance, it lays the foundation for
allowing I,J,K indexing when iterating Cells of a uniform grid.
Fix compile warnings that come up with the flags
-Wconversion -Wno-sign-conversion
This catches several instances (mostly in the testing framework) where
types are implicitly converted. I expect these changes to fix some of
the warnings we are seeing in MSVC.
I was going to add these flags to the list of extra warning flags, but
unfortunately the Thrust library has several warnings of these types,
and I don't know a good way to turn on the warnings for our code but
turn them off for Thrust.
Previously ArrayTransfer and ArrayManagerExecution received a reference
to a Storage class in their constructor and held the reference as an
ivar. In retrospect, this is just asking for trouble. First, it is way
too easy to pass by value when you mean to pass by reference. Second, if
there ever is a bug where the Storage goes out of scope before the
classes holding a reference, it is that much harder to debug.
This includes changing methods like LoadDataForInput to PrepareForInput.
It also changed the interface a bit to save a reference to the storage
object. (Maybe it would be better to save a pointer?) These changes also
extend up to the ArrayManagerExecution class, so it can effect device
adapter implementations.
This API change effects both ArrayTransfer and ArrayManagerExecution.
This is in preparation for a future change to make the API more
consistent with ArrayHandle.
The functors in the ForEach, StaticTransform, and DynamicTransform
methods sometimes can use the index of the parameter that they are
operating on. This can be a helpful diagnostic in compile and run-time
errors. It is also helpful when linking parameters from one
FunctionInterface with those of another.
This new features are now replacing implementations using the Zip
functionality that was removed earlier. The implementation is actually
simplified a bit.
Porting the dax device adapter over to vtkm. Unlike the dax version, doesn't
use the thrust::device_vector, but instead uses thrust::system calls so that
we can support multiple thrust based backends.
Also this has Texture Memory support for input array handles. Some more work
will need to be done to ArrayHandle so that everything works when using an
ArrayHandle inplace with texture memory bindings.
Providing these types tends to "lock in" the precision of the algorithms
used in VTK-m. Since we are using templating anyway, our templates
should be generic enough to handle difference precision in the data.
Usually the appropriate type can be determined by the data provided. In
the case where there is no hint on the precision of data to use (for
example, in the code that provides coordinates for uniform data), there
is a vtkm::FloatDefault.
Before we assumed that we would only use the basic types specified by
the widths of vtkm::Scalar and vtkm::Id. We want to expand this to make
sure the code works on whatever data precision we need.
In preparation for supporting base types with more widths, add typedefs
for the base types with explicit widths (number of bits).
Also added a IdComponent type that should be used for indices for
components into tuples and vectors. There now should be no reason to use
"int" inside of VTK-m code (especially for indexing). This change cleans
up many of the int types that were used throughout.
When compiling with 32-bit Ids for a 64 bit machine (which is not
uncommon), it is possible that the distance between two iterators
is larger than the maximum value that can be stored in vtkm::Id.
If two such iterators were passed to ArrayPortalFromIterators, that
would cause problems.
This change checks for that condition and throws an out of memory
exception if it occurs. That would be a pretty darn big array and
is more likely to be the cause of an error somewhere else in the
code, but either way the check and error is good. This change also
fixes a warning we have been getting with MSVC.
For MSVC we use the non-portable wrapper stdext::checked_array_iterators
because the compiler insists on it for safety. When we check to make sure
our templates are giving us raw pointers, we have to check for this wrapper
instead of the raw pointer itself.
MSVC likes to warn about using raw pointers as iterators in generic
algorithms because they have been known to lead to problems. When
compiling with that compiler, wrap raw pointers in
stdext::checked_array_pointer to suppress the error and also add a bit
more checking.
After a talk with Robert Maynard, we decided to change the name
ArrayContainerControl to Storage. There are several reasons for this
change.
1. The name ArrayContainerControl is unwieldy. It is long, hard for
humans to parse, and makes for long lines and wraparound. It is also
hard to distinguish from other names like ArrayHandleFoo and
ArrayExecutionManager.
2. The word container is getting overloaded. For example, there is a
SimplePolymorphicContainer. Container is being used for an object that
literally acts like a container for data. This class really manages
data.
3. The data does not necessarily have to be on the control side.
Implicit containers store the data nowhere. Derivative containers might
have all the real data on the execution side. It is possible in the
future to have storage on the execution environment instead of the
control (think interfacing with a simulator on the GPU).
Storage is not a perfect word (what does implicit storage really mean?),
but its the best English word we came up with.
It was originally put there to support CopyInto in ArrayHandle, but that
has already been removed. It really only makes sense for trivial
examples and testing code, and it sometimes causes complications with
coding.
We made this change a while ago to help with completion in IDEs.
(Completion was matching a bunch of wrapper macros that were almost
never used anywhere.) Most of the changes are in comments, but there are
a few bad macro definitions.
Whenever creating a functor to be launched in the execution environment
using the device adapter Schedule algorithm, you had to also create a
couple of methods to handle error message buffers. For convenience, lots
of code started to just inherit from WorkletBase. Although this worked,
it was a misnomer (and might cause problems in the future if worklets
later require different things from its base). To get around this
problem, add a FunctorBase class that is intended to be used as the
superclass to functors called with Schedule.
Previously, VTKM_DEVICE_ADAPTER_UNDEFINED and
VTKM_ARRAY_CONTAINER_CONTROL_UNDEFINED were set to 0. The problem is
that if someone set VTKM_DEVICE_ADAPTER or VTKM_ARRAY_CONTAINER_CONTROL
to something invalid, that would test positive when compared to 0. Thus,
you get an error about not defining the default when in fact the problem
is setting an invalid flag.
This change makes the undefined constants -1 so that the comparison will
fail unless the macro is actually properly set.
Each type of point coordinates has its own class with the name
PointCoordinates*. Currently there is a PointCoordiantesArray that contains
an ArrayHandle holding the point coordinates and a PointCoordinatesUniform
that takes the standard extent, origin, and spacing for a uniform rectilinear
grid and defines point coordiantes for that. Creating new PointCoordinates
arrays is pretty easy, and we will almost definitely add more. For example,
we should have an elevation version that takes uniform coordinates for
a 2D grid and then an elevation in the third dimension. We can probably
also use a basic composite point coordinates that can build them from
other coordinates.
There is also a DynamicPointCoordinates class that polymorphically stores
an instance of a PointCoordinates class. It has a CastAndCall method that
behaves like DynamicArrayHandle; it can call a functor with an array handle
(possible implicit) that holds the point coordinates.
This is used with the FunctionInterface::DynamicTransformCont method to
convert a call of arguments using dynamic array handles to a function
templated on concrete types.
The dynamic array handle holds a reference to an array handle of an
unknown type. It contains the ability to try to cast it to an instance
of array handle or to try lists of types and containers.
There is currently an issue that is causing the test code not to
compile. It is the case that some combinations of types and containers
are not compatible. For example, an implict container is bound to a
certain type, and the container is undefined if they do not agree. There
needs to be a mechanism to detect these invalid combinations and skip
over them in the MTP for each.
