Benson, if you re-distribute, please state in the code where this file originates from. Talking about "parallel computing packages are used in industry", I would really appreciate if this SurfaceLIC benchmark would become a standard benchmark to measure rendering times across a variety of platforms and ParaView versions. This would be also a good candidate benchmark to check new ParaView release candidates, I think. Frank. From: Benson Muite [mailto:benson_mu...@yahoo.com] Sent: Montag, 26.

Frank, Will see if can generate an example data set, in case am able to do so, can I redistribute the file (in particular would like to show several students how some of these parallel computing packages are used in industry)? Line 640 makes it difficult to re-distribute. Benson On 09/26/2016 03:23 PM, Albina, Frank wrote: Benson, I won't be able to provide you with the dataset you are requesting since the IP is protected. I might be able to provide it to Kitware for debugging purposes with the condition of not distributing it to any third parties. However, I can access your request to share the benchmarking code. Please find attached the code I am using for my benchmark. Hope you will find it useful. Nonetheless, I would it useful if someone could point me towards a resolution of the issue I reported in my original email. Regards, Frank.

Would be interested in looking at this if possible to get example code.

My main purpose is to make use of ParaView with software rendering in a clustered environment without GPU and, as such, I have been going through my small benchmark on a generic F1 car. This what I have found so far when generating a SurfaceLIC representation on the whole car surface in batch mode. Using pvbatch -mesa-llvm works fine. This is one of the produced images for reference: [cid:image001.jpg@01D2180D.86C9A890] Using 4 cores to perform the same task (with the same script) with mpiexec -np 4 pvbatch --mesa-llvm shows a good speed-up but the background is black instead of white (although view.Backgound = [1,1,1] is set explicitely), as shown hereafter: [cid:image002.jpg@01D2180D.86C9A890] On the same server (Intel Xeon ES-2650 v3), the CPU is AVX2 capable, so I tried also the same script with pvbatch --mesa-swr-avx2. The image background is corrupted with leftover frames apparently, as shown hereafter: [cid:image003.jpg@01D2180D.86C9A890] Was this behavior to be expected? Please let me know if there is any interest in providing with my benchmark.
