| − | VTK-m is an open source C++ header toolkit that provides the ability to do fine-grained concurrency on scientific visualization data structures. VTK-m has few required dependencies but supports several optional components.
| + | Information about [https://gitlab.kitware.com/vtk/vtk-m/blob/master/README.md#dependencies dependencies] and [https://gitlab.kitware.com/vtk/vtk-m/blob/master/README.md#building building VTK-m] has moved to the [https://gitlab.kitware.com/vtk/vtk-m/blob/master/README.md#building VTK-m README]. More detailed information can be found in the [[Media:VTKmUsersGuide.pdf|VTK-m User's Guide]]. |

| − | == Getting VTK-m ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | VTK-m is currently available from a kitware git repository, which has public anonymous read access. URLs that can be used to clone the git repository can be found on [http://public.kitware.com/vtkm.git the git project web page](http://public.kitware.com/vtkm.git).
| |
| − | | |
| − | If you haven't used git before, consider following [https://help.github.com/articles/set-up-git github's excellent setup guide]. To get a copy of the repository, issue a git clone command.

| − | == Dependencies ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | * CMake: VTK-m uses CMake to configure the build. You will need a relatively new version of CMake. CMake 2.8.10 or newer is recommended.
| |
| − | * Boost: VTK-m requires the header version of Boost 1.48.0 or better. You do not need to install the Boost libraries.

| − | == Supported Operating Systems and Compilers ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | VTK-m is supported on Windows, Mac OSX, and Linux and should work on other varieties of Unix. It is possible to compile VTK-m with many different compiler versions including GNU, CLANG, MSVC, Intel, and PGI.

| − | == Building VTK-m with CMake ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | Although VTK-m is header only, the code needs to be configured for the local system. VTK-m also has a large testing framework that will ensure it is working correctly on your system.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Always configure VTK-m so that the build tree is not the same as the source directory. The project will not run in if the source and build directories are the same.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The basic steps to setting up VTK-m are as follows:
| |
| − | | |
| − | git clone http://public.kitware.com/vtkm.git
| |
| − | mkdir vtkm-build
| |
| − | cd vtkm-build
| |
| − | cmake-gui ../vtkm
| |
| − | make
| |
| − | make test
| |
| − | | |
| − | (Note that parallel makes are supported, so you can run something like <tt>make -j4</tt> to take advantage of multiple cores during the build.)
