Adding ArrayHandleVirtual, and VariantArrayHandle, Removing DynamicArrayHandle
This is one small step for virtuals, one large leap for VTK-m.
This is no where near completion, but should allow for compilation of vtkm_cont
and all tests in vtkm/cont/
.
Below is currently all the known issues/tasks that need to be resolved. As I update this work I will be adding new tasks, checking off work.
Major Tasks:
-
Redesign Filter Policies for virtuals -
Correct dynamic_cast
visibility issues showing on OSX.
Documentation Tasks:
-
Add Changelog for ArrayHandleVirtual -
Add Changelog for ArrayHandleVariant -
Update User's Guide
Conversion Tasks:
-
Convert over IO -
Convert over Rendering -
Convert over Filters -
Convert over Worklets -
Convert over Benchmarks -
Convert over Examples -
Convert over per backend unit tests -
Convert over Serialization to support ArrayHandleVirtual
Design Tasks:
-
Redesign ArrayRangeCompute to handle ArrayHandleVirtual
. -
Re-Activate fast paths for Worklets executing on UniformPointCoordinates
. -
Get ArrayHandleZip
to be stored byArrayHandleVariant
.
Minor Design Tasks:
-
Investigate which Fancy ArrayHandles should be moved over to always use ArrayHandleVirtual
as the parent class
Minor Coding Tasks:
-
Implement Shrink
onStorageVirtual
-
Implement Allocate
onStorageVirtual
-
Implement PrepareForInPlace
onStorageVirtual
-
