Updates

  • Attended JOWOG 34 at the end of February at LANL
    • Cyrus presented on using Ascent as a data source for machine learning
    • Justin presented on how great conduit is
    • Nicole fell asleep a lot

Recent Developments:

  • Cyrus: Added 'reflect' capability to the transform filter
  • Cyrus: Added capability to provide multiple action files to a trigger
  • Cyrus: Added ascent lib version details to the info() call
  • Cyrus: Added external surface filter for compute reduction
  • Eric: Fixed some umpire issues with ascent_config.mk.in and dray_config.mk.in
  • Nicole: Bogged down in some paper reviews
  • Nicole: Added case of a structured mesh with an explicit topology to the blueprint to vtkm data adapter

  • Eric: Working on image tiling for arbitrarily large images using VTK-m's raytracer
    • Looks to be currently lacking the capability to select regions of the data without moving the camera
    • VTK-m will look at this. ex: adding a viewport capability or access to the projection transform or something else

Discussion

  • UOregon's PSAP application was denied. Sounds like previous PSAP projects are just getting renewed.
  • VTKm has a PR in for contours of lines and polygons
