[Paraview] [ParaView] Unofficial ParaView 4.1.0 SDK for Windows 32 and 64-bit

Greetings to all! We at blueCAPE have made available an unofficial SDK of ParaView 4.1.0 for Windows 32 and 64-bit, based on the official SuperBuild and respective build options. It's available here: https://code.google.com/p/unofficial-paraview-dev-install/wiki/Downloads#ParaView_4.1.0 Instru

This is really cool! We should try to integrate the open mpi changes as those seem really reasonable. As far as building Qt, this is required for two reasons. The first is that the Qt 4.8 series only has 32bit official binaries for windows, and we would need 32 and 64bit. If we moved to Qt 5.X it

OpenMPI dropped support for windows some time ago. Would it not make sense to use MS MPI? https://www.open-mpi.org/software/ompi/v1.6/ms-windows.php http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb524831(v=vs.85).aspx On 08/08/201

Greetings Robert, Thanks for the feedback! Then perhaps I should give it a spin to also SuperBuild with Qt 4.8.6 and provide the changes/hacks necessary to include the Qt SDK in the ParaView SDK... Which reminds me: can the Python version be bumped up at least from 2.7.3 to 2.7.8 in the nex

As far as I can understand/deduce: 1. The ParaView dev team switched from Open-MPI 1.6.2 backwards to 1.4.4, precisely because the support was dropped. I guess the 1.4.4 version provided a more stable'ish working version than 1.6.2. 2. MS-MPI originated from MPICH2 source code for Windows.

The ParaView dev team switched from Open-MPI 1.6.2 backwards to 1.4.4, precisely because the support was dropped. I'm not sure about this, Kitware folks could clarify. If ParaView developers are picking an MPI implementation, then it should probably be MS MPI. It's the only option going forward,

Hi Utkarsh, I think it does implement MPI2. At least my codes make heavy use of MPI 2 and it works fine. However, I'll look into it and report back. Microsoft's documentation says: You may also redistribute this MS-MPI installation package with your own applications, to facilitate havin

Additionally, you need to run the installer as admin since it installs a daemon (I believe). I think it would make sense to put out two version of Windows binaries (without MPI and with MS MPI) and then include the MSMPI installer as a part of the installation process, esp. since no other Windows M

Ahh, that may be, I wouldn't have noticed it since I have admin on my account. as far as the version of the standard implemented by MS MPI in HPC Pack 2012 (internal ver 256), it's 2.0. The TestSystemCaps regression test has the code to report. On 8/11/2014 9:53 AM, Utkarsh Ayachit wrote: A

Good to know. I think we'll make the switch at the same time when we upgrade the VS compiler we're using for the binaries. We are switching to using CMakified Python soon and then we wouldn't need to use VS2008. Any thoughts on which is the most common VS compiler? Qt distributes binaries for 2010,

The only 64 bit Qt 5.x binaries are for VS2013 if you plan on supporting 64 bit paraview by using the prebuilt Qt Binaries. So my vote would be for the newest/latest compiler if possible. Mike Jackson On Aug 13, 2014, at 10:07 AM, Utkarsh Ayachit wrote: > Good to know. I think we'll make th

If we want the newest/latest compiler we need to make sure everything in the superbuild will compile there too. It would be great to use the Qt and Python installers though if that was possible, it would even reduce the build time for our superbuilds. If we can, why not move to the latest compiler
