Telecon: 2025 04 08 - Alpine-DAV/ascent GitHub Wiki

Cyrus, Emily, Justin, Nicole, and Mark Miller (VisIt) will all be attending DOE CGF at the end of April at the U of O in Eugene, OR
- Planning a number of presentations:
  - LLNL Site update
  - Ascent & Conduit updates (1 or 2 talks tbd)
  - VisIt update

Cyrus: working on a release for Ascent
- Requires numerous tpl updates -- had to delay to wait on new versions of things
- Has a new CI branch using VTK-m 2.2
Nicole: used the new branch building with VTK-m 2.2 to test VTK-m's release candidate
- Also test Ken's fix for structured meshes with explicit topology
- have done these two tests separately, currently testing updated release candidate
Cyrus: Raja refactor
Cyrus: Big warnings pass
Cyrus: Added a 2D camera a user can specify
Nicole: Finished the warpX unit tests, just needs review
Nicole: Still working on NASA Mark's missing field bug
Nicole: Added VTK-m on device data copy for all flavors of ints so we do not use conduit to access the GPU
Nicole: Added safe_info() to our docs -- writes out the results of calling info()
Emily: Fixed the hang caused by a zoom 0
Emily: Working on fmt path strings
Emily: Fixed the nonexistent directory bug
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

TODO: test VTK-m's new contours
