gmh5225 / vtk-m-graph

Filter execution graph library built on top of VTK-m

VTKm-GRAPH

Library implementing a VTK-m node-graph abstraction with support for ANARI mappers.

Build + install

Building VTKm-GRAPH requires the following:

• CMake 3.17+
• C++17 compiler
• VTK-m 2.1
• ANARI-SDK 0.7.0+

VTK-m and ANARI-SDK can be found via placing their installation locations on CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH.

The single libvtkm_graph will install to ${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/lib, and is usable with any VTKm/ANARI app if either it is installed to the same location as the ANARI-SDK or libvtkm_graph is placed on LD_LIBRARY_PATH respectively.

VTKm-GRAPH is currently only tested on Linux, but Windows support is planned.

Using VTKm-GRAPH from an install with CMake

VTKm-GRAPH installs exports a CMake target for the main library: vtkm_graph::vtkm_graph. This target is found with CMake via find_package(vtkm_graph) in the downstream project.

When the package is found, it will look for VTK-m + ANARI to ensure those dependencies are present. Use CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH to point them just like when building VTKm-GRAPH itself.
