[Paraview] Paraview 3.8.0 crash in Edit Color Map

2010-05-13 Thread Cihan Altinay
Hi list, I just compiled Paraview 3.8.0 RC2 and found a reproducible crash whenever I click on "Edit Color Map". Version 3.6.2 compiled with exactly the same dependencies (mesa, mpi, qt) does not exhibit this crash. Configuration details: Linux 2.6.27.45-0.1 SMP x86_64 Qt 4.6.2, Mesa 7.8.1, M

Process Id Scalars doesn't do any load balancing, it just shows what cells are assigned to what process. You can try the D3 filter to do actual load-balancing (your reader may already be doing this though in which case you would see the same results from a Process Id Scalars filter used after the

Process Id Scalars didn't do the trick, still no performance gain with Delaunay 2D. My data is stored in a h5 file which gets loaded through a xdmf file.

Another thought - just try the precompiled RC2 binaries and see what the difference is. I also agree with checking the driver, the last issue I had was caused by this (an upgrade fixed it). For the list - are there any debug options that make ParaView print/log what it is doing? E.g. export DEBUG

Ah, I see. It sounds like your data is not balanced. Many of the "non parallel" file formats will do something stupid when loading data in parallel. For example, they might load everything on process 0 or load everything everywhere. (And now that I think about it, the Delaunay filter may hav

Well if I start pvserver by mpirun -np 4 pvserver I have 3 cores running at almost 100%. Now I connect to the server and start a Delaunay 2D calculation on one of my datasets.

Hi Carolyn, I was gently suggesting that you could solve the problem of "too many open files" by going to a datum format that required a smaller number of files, or don't ask ParaView to load data that you don't have a requirement (at the moment) to post-process.  If that is not possible, then
