About this page

This page contains materials for a VTK-m tutorial. A mini version of the tutorial will be offered at the VTK-m Code Sprint in Albuquerque on July 30th. The full version (3.5 hours) will be offered at VIS19 in Vancouver, Canada on Sunday October 20th.

Download and build VTK-m

The instructions to download and build are here.

Recommendations:

• Download V1.3.0 [[1]].
  • (don't access the master branch via git clone, and note the build page assumes you will be doing a git clone)
• Do not enable the TBB or CUDA, at least at first.
  • (we stand behind our support for these backends, but it is good to start simple)

In all, your process on Unix/Mac should be something like:

1. (download VTK-m 1.3.0)
2. tar xvfz vtk-m-v1.3.0.tar.gz
3. mkdir vtkm-build # out of source build
4. cd vtkm-build
5. cmake ../vtk-m
6. make
7. make test

(Note: will need to turn on examples...)
