Roundtable
Remove VTKM_CONT? A short discussion had some slight opinions both ways. On one hand, the use of VTKM_CONT is becoming a bit inconsistent with it not being used in some place that it should. On the other hand, VTKM_CONT is a useful comment to those learning the VTK-m source code to tag where something is going to run. There is also a minor concern with running into a device in the future that actually needs VTKM_CONT. Considering this, it was decided to leave the modifiers as they are.
R&D100?
- Thinking of submitting for 2022
- Big stumbling block: needs to be "created" between Jan 2021 to March 2022
- Plan: Release VTK-m 2.0, do a copyright assertion
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.
