I am afraid my pipeline will get as big as about 10-15GB. We are doing analysis on huge volume data and have 32GB of RAM at our disposal. Well, I'll just give it a shot and may come back later when encountering some explicit problems. I thought maybe there are important compilation Parameters one should know to have QT compiled the "right" way. By the way, this 1,4GB limit seems to be a good estimate, at least what I am experiencing when working with small pieces of our volume data.

Until then, best regards,
Christian

I usually use a self-built Qt 4.6.2 with ParaView. I have to admit that I have not done this in a while though, since maybe ParaView 3.6.2 days. I don't think I have ever had any problems with a self compiled Qt and ParaView on any platform and operating system (Windows 32 XP, 7 x64, OS X, Linux).

In order to build a 64 bit ParaView you will need a 64 bit Qt. The question is, do you really _need_ a 64 bit ParaView? Just because you are running a 64 bit Windows doesn't mean you need to run a 64 bit ParaView. You would need a 64 bit ParaView IF you are accessing Data sets larger than 2GB or have a HUGE pipeline that will need more than the 2GB limit of 32 bit processes**

Hi!

I am about to install the latest Paraview on a 64-Bit Windows System. When doing this on a 32-bit Windows I made a bad and painful experience when trying to setup everything starting with a self-compiled QT. I finally succeeded when I skipped that QT compiling part and used a QT binary instead that was compiled for VisualStudio (this is important). However, you cannot download a 64Bit binary of QT for Windows in general.

I am shivering in fear when thinking about what will happen if I try to do this QT compiling on the 64-Bit System. I see my self doing this all over and over without success, as it happened before on the 32Bit system. So I wanted to be sure if that 64Bit version of QT is actually needed for 64Bit Paraview. Maybe the binary 32Bit suffices already?

If not, does anyone have experience in this? I stopped trying after at least 3 differently parameterized compilations of QT turned out to not be what Paraview was looking for. If I need to, how would I compile QT to make it work with Paraview64 for Visual Studio?


Best regards,
Christian
