Ok, back to basics - this is the simplest setup I can imagine.
I am trying to run pvserver on a single extra computer (so a total of mine +
1 = 2 machines) with the same architecture, same OS, same OpenMPI, same
Paraview. I have been talking with the OpenMPI people and running "hello
world" tests

Sorry, I can't give you a guess what the problem might be. Double check
that you used the same source to compile paraview and pvserver on the
various machines, and the same mpi library versions. Is one machine 32 bit
and one 64 bit? Does paraview work as expected if you create objects from

1) Try sshing to the machine and launching a program like glxgears or
xeyes. Probably won't work, right? Now try:
ssh remote-machine
export DISPLAY=:0
xeyes
Now does it work? If so, try adding -x DISPLAY to your mpirun command, you
can read about this in the mpirun man page.
2) Each pvserver

David, can you do these two things?
1) from the shell on the local machine, ssh to one node of the remote
machine and execute a command without supplying a password (ie you
have ssh authentication set up)
ex.
kargad> ssh amber1 uname -a
Linux amber1 2.6.18-6-amd64 #1 SMP Tue Aug 19 04:30:56 UTC 20
Hmm, maybe I'm misunderstanding you, but it sounds like you are giving
paraview a command to start the server and expecting paraview to log into
the remote machine to execute the command? The command will be run on your
client machine. So you need to write a shell script that will take care of

Hm, but if I run pvserver and then connect with 'manual' it works
fine. If I try to send the 'pvserver' c
Some other processes is already listening on the port (default 1
for pvserver), hence you are getting the error.

Sort of.
The point of using MPI is to establish a "virtual parallel machine".
The physical machines that comprise that virtual parallel machine can
all work together because they are part of the same mpi job. The
parallel filters within VTK that paraview uses are only written to
work with the othe

Is it possible to have different "external command to start the
server" for each machine in machinelist.txt?
For example, on one of th

Utkarsh - I looked pretty thoroughly at that, but didn't see anything
about using multiple computers as server, it just looked like sin

You'll also want to make sure that you either give the full path to
pvserver when you start the mpirun job, or make sure that pvserver is in
your default path.
Will distributed processing help you? That totally depends on the
distribution of your dataset, speed of your network & processors,

Hi David,
You'll want to change your mpirun command a little bit-
on machine X: mpirun -np 3 -machinefile machinefile.txt pvserver
This will run 3 instances of pvserver where each instance runs on one of the
machines specified in machinefile.txt. Machinefile.txt will list the
machine hostnames,

Yes.
If you compile paraview from source and turn MPI on, then the server
process can be run as a parallel job (mpirun -np N pvserver).
Connecting to that parallel server and using it is no different than
the client/serial-server case.
I vaguely recall that the Mac binaries are compiled this way,
Is there a way to use multiple "average" computers together to improve
performance? I successfully setup a single server and can use it to
render from a different computer in client/server mode - but is it
possible to have a "cloud" or "farm" of computers acting as a single
server?
Thanks,
David
