Teleconference 2016-10-19

Attendees: Ken Moreland (SNL), Mark Kim (ORNL), Chris Sewell (LANL), Olie Lo (LANL), Rob Maynard (Kitware), Berk Geveci (Kitware), Matt Larsen (LLNL), Dave Pugmire (ORNL)

Chris has been starting to look at error handling and using try execute to handle when a particular device fails and tries another one. This particularly can happen when memory allocation fails.

Chris wants to merge the stream merge request.

Olie is going through the VTK-m manual.

Made some progress on the 3D version of the contour tree code.

Rob has been working with the PyFR team to do some Catalyst-enabled visualization.

Berk has been working on integrating VTK-m into SENSI. There is an example working within their miniapp.

Matt has been implementing all the different cell types for the unstructured volume renderer. Sampling is taking a lot of time. The bottleneck is finding the parameteric coordinates for each sample.

Eric plans to update the VisIt integration to the latest version VTK-m.

Dave is having some issues with compiling and running the rendering libraries. There appears to be some conflicts with different OpenGL implementations.

Mark is getting a vtable error out of the GCC compiler. This is inheriting from MapperGL.
