ECP/VTK-m Project Management

Roundtable

Jim strongly encouraging having the DAV portfolio for running KPP3CPs on Frontier.

Going to refactor the ANARI work to be more interop based.

Dave moving rendering things from VTK-h to VTK-m. Started by moving VTK-h rendering wholesale in VTK-m. It works, but needs to fix the interface to work correctly.
