OASIS Deliverables

The OASIS CY24 final "report" has been submitted.

In addition, organizers are asking for a highlight slide from each project. It can be a previous highlight slide from SciDAC or ECP. Current plan is to submit the VTK-m highlight on Poincaré plots for fusion. We have a WarpX highlight, but we can save that for Ascent.

In the future, we will have to think about how to highlight VTK-m/Viskores. Our most visible deployment is usually through Ascent, but we don't want to take Ascent's thunder.

Viskores / HPSF

The HPSF has granted us some funding to transition our software from VTK-m to Viskores. This funding will be provided to Kitware.

Expect contract to be in place by the end of this month and to start in January. It is a 3 month contract. May finish earlier. Expect to have a functional Viskores in github in March.

Most of the CI will go to the U of Oregon build cluster (currently used for spack).
