[Paraview] CUDA module in ParaView

[Biddiscombe, John A.]

Thanks David. I'll give it a try. it's a project that's being squeezed in between other stuff so takes low(ish) priority. 

Incidentally, I noticed Burlen had some CUDA related stuff in SQtoolkit that I found when googling. I will check that for hints.
(I would like to add support for the CUDA version of the splotch mapper I've been helping out with, pic attached cos it looks nice)

Hey John,

I've been working with LANL to get their PISTON library integrated into VTK and ParaView. It will be making its way into master over the next few weeks. Our work involves both GPGPU (data manipulation only) filters and a new direct from thrust to GL (glInterop) mapper.

Getting vtk/paraview to use cuda wasn't too hard, just use CMake's FindCUDA module to get a hold of nvcc and then run that on the .cu files to get object files/symbols you can use from your VTK classes.

It doesn't actually have to be rendering as such as my current version just renders using software into a standard memory buffer and then copies that into OpenGL prior to letting paraview composite everything. It's mostly the setup/compilation etc that I haven't tried with CUDA and would like to experiment.
