Attendees:

ECP notes and announcements:

  • End of Q1 coming up fast!
    • At the beginning of December will start collecting progress for month/quarter.
    • Want to have all of the milestones completed by December 19 at the latest.
  • Annual meeting is soon (January 14-18)
  • Mike Heroux is looking for "User Stories"
    • Is there anything that ECP can change that would help us?
    • Should we request something about computer time?
      • Small amount of discretionary time for debugging and performance testing?
      • Set up nightly build/test?
    • Ask to fund everyone directly instead of through subcontracts?
    • Anything else about administration?
  • A new "Capability Assessment Report" revision is coming up
    • I don't expect anyone other than myself to have to respond, but I will let you know.


ECP deliverable updates:

  • [MS-18/09] Better Dynamic Types Impl
  • [MS-19/01] VTK-m Release 2
  • [MS-19/02] Productionize zfp compression
  • [MS-19/03] Clip


Consolidating worklet tests

  • MR 1432 merged
  • Why are the executables named Worklet_list_of_devices? Why not follow the UnitTests_vtkm_worklet_testing convention?
  • Will the rendering tests be converted as well?
  • Should there be a simplified way to specify devices on the command line?
    • Ken suggested having a vtkm::Initialize method that would consolidate all initialize methods (such as this and InitLogging).
