Thanks Ken,
But what I was searching for was the configuration options, as I couldn't find any information on how to launch the server in case of multiple displays.
Can I specify display numbers in machinefiles?
It would be great if I can get any pointers.

That’s basically what Utkarsh meant by needing to set up the environment correctly. Typically the GPU used is determined by the DISPLAY environment variable. “:0” is typically the first GPU and “:1” is typically the second GPU. You need to launch pvserver such that node 0 gets :0 for the DISPLAY env variable (or –display flag) and node 1 gets :1.

    Hi Utkarsh,

    Thanks for the response.
    The suggested command line creates two seperate processes and
    devides the data properly, but I'm getting both the tiles in the
    same display(connected to first GPU).

        Yes, just run pvserver as follows:

        mpirun -np 2 pvserver -tdx=2

        Of course, you'll have to build your own MPI enabled ParaView (you
        cannot use the binaries provided by on www.paraview.org
        <http://www.paraview.org> ). You'll have
        to ensure that the environment is set up correctly so that each
        pvserver processes gets the right display etc.

            Hi,

            Is it possible to achieve tiled display using a single
            dual-gpu machine
            which can drive 4 displays? I have read that the number of
            servers should
            atleast be equal to number of tiles.
            Can paraview be configued to have atleast a 2x1 tiled
            display with 2 GPUs?

            Thanks
