[Paraview] About ParaView catalyst
Hello, Here I have some questions about the in-situ library support. Does anyone know if the ParaView catalyst is now supported by Intel XL compilers or not? Based on my recent scaling test on INL Cetus, the XL compilers are almost twice efficient compared to the GNU compilers for the identical source codes, compilation flags (-O2), simulation case set-up (16,385 cores) and input parameters. Therefore, it becomes a tough decision for me to choose either "GNU+in-situ capability" or "XL without in-situ". The perfect situation is that XL compilers can also support insitu visualization (i.e. ParaView catalyst), but I am not sure about that.

Re: [Paraview] About ParaView catalyst
Hi Andy, Thank you so much for the prompt reply and the corrections. Yes, you are totally right, I made some stupid typos and mistakes. Cetus is a BG/Q HPC machine at Argonne National Lab for small test cases (along with Mira for production runs). The XL compiler I mentioned is from IBM, not Intel. I will check the link you sent and see if I can resolve the compatibility issue b/w XL compilers and catalyst. Again, thank you so much.

Re: [Paraview] how to create a isosurface
Hello Conrado, By watching the video, it is clear that the isosurface is the position in your data field at which a quantity of interest has the same value. Therefore, to create your own isosurface, first, determine what kind of variable/quantity you want to visualize, and then apply the contour in your pipeline; choose the variable/quantity you want to see and specify the contour values.
