SC BOF: will coordinate with the ANARI
- BOF is Tuesday, Nov 19th 12:15-1:15pm EST. Room B209
  - Title: "Possibilities to leverage ANARI inside, outside, and sideways with Ascent"

Recent Developments:

Cyrus: Added transform filter
- allows you to rotate, scale, translate mesh coordinates
Cyrus: Focusing on eliminating singletons
- Argonne utilizing multiple instances of Ascent
Nicole: Working on enabling ANARI rendering with Helide via Viskores (prev. VTK-m)
Nicole: Working on enabling more partition options
- previously only supported # of target domains

Users starting to push on using Ascent on El Capitan
The 2D slice issue: https://gitlab.kitware.com/vtk/vtk-m/-/issues/829
More easily specify rays in Viskores
- ability to set up arbitrary ray-tracing rays, not just rays set by camera
Another issue with NASA
- Multiple renders are hanging
- Could be running out of memory, but we have not tested this and do not know what this looks like
Oregon will be hosting an AMD performance sprint/hackathon/workshop
