[Paraview] ParaView Llvm on Supercomputer
Hi All, I have worked with one of the IT persons to finally be able to use the capabilities of ParaView to capture a high resolution image of each time step at the end of my model run on a supercomputer. The problem that I am seeing is that Llvm is taking quite some time per rendered image. I currently only have 1 node with 8 cores that I use to my disposal. I run the script using pvbatch and the xmf read to get like 10 images in 10 minutes. I am asking my IT guy to try and redo the compile so that it enables MPI so I can take advantage of multiple cores. Has any one else tried using Llvm with pvbatch to save out an image per time step? I saw the graph here - http://www.paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView/ParaView_And_Mesa_3D - that talks about having 8 - 10 cores seems to be efficient. Would it make sense to span Llvm across mutlple nodes / would it be quicker? Thanks for any input - I am just a little confused on how pvbatch would work between multiple nodes / what command to use.

Scott, I have setup a GPU instance and am trying to use the instructions give but when I use X or glxinfo when the Display is pointed to 0.0, I get an erro that says couldn't open display :0.0.

Re: [Paraview] ParaView 4.0.1 Not Compiling for Python, MPI, Llvm
Scott, It may be that I could be bettering how I use ParaView. What I am doing is basically extracting frames as PNGs from a number of timesteps so I can perform some post processing on said frames on the same node. The product I am creating is a time machine - like these here. http://timemachine.cmucreatelab.org/wiki/Main_Page - I am basically just taking advantage of the rendering capabilities of ParaView to get my hd images :) The ending product just let's me through it on a server somewhere that is a pretty light load to share. But ParaView Web looks promising too, I might have to do some comparisons Thanks!

Re: [Paraview] Installing ParaView 4.0.1 on Nodes For Rendering Frames -Slow Rendering w/ Python
Utkarsh, I appreciate your response. I spent this past week first trying to get the X Server running and it seems it never worked so I gave up on that and have turned to building ParaView with the Llvm CPU Rendering option enabled. It's taken me a while but I believe I have all the dependencies installed including OSMesa 9.2.2 but I don't know what to make of the CMakeLists.txt file. The wiki isn't too clear on this part and I have no experience with CMake. I copied the CMakesList.txt that comes with the source files for ParaView4.0.1 to a new source directory and have also created a new directory for my build and followed the advice to point the ccmake to the source while in my new build directory. I get a EMPTY CACHE message The following ling under the Configuring ParaView for use with OSMesa, there is a script but I don't know what to do with that. I assumed I would need to apply it to the CMakeList.txt but the variables seem different than what I am seeing in the second link below in the Configure ParaView With CMake on Unix - the image in that section shows different variables and no description on how to apply the Llvm stuff or it may and it's going over my head. http://www.paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView/ParaView_And_Mesa_3D http://www.paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView:Build_And_Install Could you give me some advice on how to use CMake so I can get a version of Paraview with OSMesa Llvm as the source for rendering? Appreciate any advice! Thanks! Noah On Wed, May 20, 2015 at 8:07 AM, Utkarsh Ayachit utkarsh.ayac...@kitware.com wrote: Are you using x forwarding when you connect to these machines?

If it's popping up on your laptop, you're using X forwarding. Every render on the server will then be forwarding X calls to your laptop and that would explain the slow down. If there an X server running on the remote site? If so, check with your sysadmin to get access to that X if possible. If not, you'll need to recoming with OSMesa, I am afraid.
