Kenneth Moreland 0772a157fd Revert "Don't build vtkm_rendering if we can't find opengl" 
There are many rendering classes that do not rely on OpenGL. We really
want to be able to use this functionality on systems that do not have
OpenGL. That is a big part of the point.

This reverts commit c75feb74bb6add43e1be9a42a9bf4bf205b97c39.

VTK-m

One of the biggest recent changes in high-performance computing is the increasing use of accelerators. Accelerators contain processing cores that independently are inferior to a core in a typical CPU, but these cores are replicated and grouped such that their aggregate execution provides a very high computation rate at a much lower power. Current and future CPU processors also require much more explicit parallelism. Each successive version of the hardware packs more cores into each processor, and technologies like hyperthreading and vector operations require even more parallel processing to leverage each core’s full potential.

VTK-m is a toolkit of scientific visualization algorithms for emerging processor architectures. VTK-m supports the fine-grained concurrency for data analysis and visualization algorithms required to drive extreme scale computing by providing abstract models for data and execution that can be applied to a variety of algorithms across many different processor architectures.

Getting VTK-m

The VTK-m repository is located at https://gitlab.kitware.com/vtk/vtk-m

VTK-m required dependencies are:

VTK-m optional dependencies are:

git clone https://gitlab.kitware.com/vtk/vtk-m.git vtkm
mkdir vtkm-build
cd vtkm-build
cmake-gui ../vtkm

A detailed walk-through of installing and building VTK-m can be found on our Contributing page
