[vtk-developers] [ANNOUNCE]: VTK-m integration into VTK

[Shawn Waldon]

Hi All,


I am pleased to announce that VTK-m [1] is being added as a dependency of
VTK.  For now, VTK-m will be an optional dependency of VTK that is only
activated when the AcceleratorsVTKM module is enabled. If you do enable
VTK-m support make sure you initialize the submodule using 'git submodule
update --init’.

VTK-m will allow for VTK filters to use fine grained parallelism that will
utilize multicore CPU’s, GPU’s(through CUDA), and emerging architectures
such as Xeon PHI’s.

Again if you do not enable this module, then this change will not affect
your VTK build.

The merge request to add the VTK-M submodule can be found here [2].
