ECP Updates

• Let's think about possible highlights
  • App engagement
  • Success with porting (e.g. run on Aurora)
  • Engagement with other ST teams (e.g. using Kokkos)
• Special ECP issue of Transition to Accelerated Nodes
  • Decided to have an article summarizing publications showing device portability + use cases.

Roundtable

Rename master branch?

• Need to wait for some changes to git before the transition (for some automated features of repo).
• Can we for a time have a master that mirrors the new default?
  • Don't know, but seems possible. Will have to look into that.

We have an issue where VTKDataSetWriter does not properly write out a uniform grid when we have a structured cell set and uniform point coordinates.

We also have a crash that can happen with the flying edges algorithm.
