Hi! I have some questions about serial and parallel data.
I'm working at a HPC facility but all my scientific data was previously written in serial .VTK extension. *What's the best way to turn my serial data into parallel?* I have found that I can open the ParaView client application and connect to my localhost with at least 2 processes, open my serial data and save it as parallel data. *Is that effective? Is that the right way to do?* *Or I would only benefit of parallel processing if I wrote my data as parallel from the beggining?* The options presented when saving data: - Data Mode: ASCII | BINARY | APPENDED - Encode Appended Data: TRUE | FALSE - Compressor Type: NONE | ZLIB *What do the mean and how they affect performance?* *If I save my serial data as parallel data using 2 processes, is that the same as saving my data with N number of processes?* Best regards, Leonardo Pessanha Laboratory of Computational Methods in Engineering Federal University of Rio de Janeiro - COPPE Rio de Janeiro, RJ, Brasil
