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.
Rob noticed a degridation in performance in some worklet tests when
ArrayCopy was added. I hypothesize that this slowdown is doing the array
copy with TBB instead of serial in the serial tests. (There have been
some checks in the existing code to suggest that some operations in TBB
can be slower than serial.) This change forces the array copy to be on
the device for which we are testing.
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.
Previously, the Keys class constructor took an array of keys, made a
copy of it, and sorted the copy. This was to protect the caller in case
it needed the original keys array again. However, this copy takes a
significant chunk of time and it is probably rare in practice to ever
need the original keys array again. So instead just do an in-place sort.
