Design Documents

Here is a history of design documents, listed with the most recent on top. These documents capture some of the design decisions made during the creation of VTK-m features. They can give some depth of understanding to VTK-m features, but be aware that they represent ideas at the early stages of the design. The actual implementation is likely to have changed by some amount.

• OpenMP Support
• Topology Hash Functions
• Virtual Methods in the Execution Environment
• Polymorphic ArrayHandle
• High Order Elements (linear, piecewise constant, etc)
• Alternate Interfaces for VTK-m Filters
• Cell Set Dimensionality
• Version 1.0 ToDo List
• Comparing Isosurface With and Without Scatter Classes
• Providing Non 1-to-1 Mapping in Worklets
• Shared Data in Fetches
• Rendering Infrastructure
• Making Data Set Creation more User Friendly
• Shape-Specific Functions
• Retrieving From Values in Topology Maps
• Simplifying the Use of CellSets in DataSets 2
• Simplifying the Use of CellSets in DataSets
• Simplifying ArrayHandle Internals and ArrayTransfer
• Passing Dispatcher Invoke Arguments to Worklet Arguments Using Signatures
