+## Fix issue with Fides not initializing HIP before using it
+
+There was an issue with Fides crashing because it attempted to allocate memory
+with HIP before HIP was initialized. (See
+https://gitlab.kitware.com/vtk/fides/-/issues/26.) The problem was actually with
+VTK-m. (Initializing VTK-m is supposed to be optional, but HIP was not getting
+initialized in time if it was not.) To fix the Fides issue, VTK-m is updated to
+the changes provided by
+https://gitlab.kitware.com/vtk/vtk-m/-/merge_requests/3289.
