VTK and ParaView parallelization

2021-04-22 Thread François Mazen
Hello, I'm wondering why VTK and ParaView are build with the "Sequential" default backend for parallelization (vtkSMPTools backend)? This makes ParaView run slower compared to official binary releases from Kitware, which are built with Threaded Building Blocks (TBB). Hence, any serious user of

As far as --march=native goes, in my opinion it's ok since it's only used in tests, i.e. testing that the files build and run. This is because it's actually a header-only package, no binaries (executables or libraries) are provided. So the package that we ship hasn't been "built" with

Dear all, I'm working on a project which depends on xsimd, a C++ wrapper for SIMD instructions (https://github.com/xtensor-stack/xsimd/) and noticed that there is an old RFP for it (#867915), mentioning a maintenance by debian-science. I've created a first draft for this package and pushed it
