- Title: "Possibilities to leverage ANARI inside, outside, and sideways with Ascent"
- Decent attendance!
Gave an Ascent update talk at CEA/NNSA vis quarterly meeting.

Recent Developments:

Cyrus: reworking Ascent's logging infrastructure
Nicole: Working on enabling ANARI rendering Ospray.
Users on El Capitan are using Ascent and things ~~seem~~ to be working
- Success using Kokkos 4.4.1
- Users starting to push on using Ascent on El Capitan
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
- Workaround: open and close ascent for each render. Things seem to be getting cleaned up when we close; needs investigation
Needing 1D and 2D tables from VTK-m for contours and slices
