Hi, I'm trying to get paraview to handle rendering on a single GPU with dual-monitor outputs. These outputs are run using different X screens on the same X server. Using xinerama is not an option as this is a preliminary test setup for driving a TPD using nodes that each drive 2 displays and the mullions can't be handled correctly with xinerama. The goal is to run Paraview as described in https://visualization.hpc.mil/wiki/Paraview_Tiled-Display_Mode.
The problem I have is to get multiple pvservers to run on the same host. I'm basically following the procedure outlined in "Multiple GPUs Per Node" on http://www.itk.org/Wiki/Setting_up_a_ParaView_Server. The -bynode mpirun line (supported by OpenMPI) works, but it leads to the different pvserver processes trying to listen on port 11111: pa...@sara0143:/scratch/paulm/paraview-3.6.1-Linux-i686/bin$ mpirun -bynode -np 1 ./pvserver -display :0.0 : -np 1 ./pvserver -display :0.1 Listen on port: 11111 Waiting for client... Listen on port: 11111 ERROR: In /home/kitware/ParaView-3.6/ParaView3/Servers/Common/vtkProcessModuleConnectionManager.cxx, line 193 vtkProcessModuleConnectionManager (0x8216f60): Failed to set up server socket. As far as I understand it this port (11111) is the "combined server" port that the client connects to, but the connections among different pvservers will use different (arbitrary) ports. So it seems two pvservers want to play the role of combined server entry point in my case. The mpirun line above is very similar to the one shown in the Setting_up_a_ParaView_Server wiki page: mpirun -bynode -np 8 ./pvserver -display :0.0 : -np 8 ./pvserver -display :0.1 Is there some information missing on that page that is needed to get this specific setup to work? I.e. something in an MPI hosts file?
