Ken is writing up design documents on how to implement "faux" virtual methods. These are motivated by ECP milestones.

Rob has been working on a presentation at the code sprint for "faux" virtual methods.

Multivalue isocontouring fix is merged in and working well.

Sujin looking at a more general approach for dynamic implicit functions.

Dave P. has been working on the ECP milestone stuff. Going to spend time next week during the code sprint to make progress the particle advection code based off the PIC system in VisIt.

Looking at performance measurements of new marching cubes implementation with TAU.

Tom and Alberto met the middle of last week to talk about vectorization. Alberto has been working on adding vectorization pragmas to VTK-m config file. To get this to work, they will have to remove the use of these macros from the schedule methods for the Serial and TBB devices.

Ollie and Pat updated the triangulate and tetrahedralize filters. Pat is working on extracting data from the data sets. Ollie is looking into implementing segmented scan.
