[Paraview] vtkSelectVisiblePoints

2010-05-13 Thread Johnson, Duncan (UK)
Hi all, I'm learning to integrate existing VTK filters into Paraview as plugins through the info found at http://www.paraview.org/Wiki/Plugin_HowTo. I'd like to do the same for the vtkSelectVisiblePoints filter but am having trouble. The filter requires both a dataset (the easy bit!) and a

Any chance you have a GL driver issue? Was your driver updated recently? Can you *still* run 3.6.2 without problems? Josef Dubsky wrote: Hi Paul, Thanks for your hint, but I do have enough disk space (~10 GB). I’ve already tried to look in /var/log/ but didn’t really find anything

I can view 500 time steps. My problem is when it goes to time step 509. My guess is that there is a limit of 512 open files somewhere. Carolyn On Wed, May 12, 2010 at 1:59 PM, Samuel Key samuel...@bresnan.net wrote: Oops, here is the attachment. Samuel Key wrote: Carolyn, I am not

One additional detail that would be handy to know for the OS-X builds: Whether the Qt version used was built with Carbon or Cocoa. Nokia offers both as binary downloads. The Carbon build is 32 bit only, so presumably it is the Carbon version of Qt for ParaView-3.8.0-RC2-Darwin-Universal.dmg

The question about why the pvserver processes are always at 100% CPU comes up frequently on the mailing list (such as http://www.paraview.org/pipermail/paraview/2008-December/010338.html). I've added some information to the Wiki about it to provide an explanation:

Can someone give an update on when the 3.8.0 release will happen? I know that a lot of people are working out bugs in the release candidate to make a better product. It's just that I got the impression (from this list) that in early April the release would be imminent. Are we a day away, a

Thanks Ken, but I have already read this thread, therefore I started the client process anyway without taking care of cpu usage for now. However my second question still keeps me busy. Isn't it possible to use all 4 cores? Guido Am Thu, 13 May 2010 10:29:13 -0600 schrieb Moreland, Kenneth

I am afraid I simply don't understand the question. You said in (1) that you have three cores running at 100%. Then in (2) you said that you only have one core running. Is it happening when you start the client, connect the client to the server, launch the server from the client, or

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. As a result all of the 4 cores are showing 100%. However I assume that there is only one core doing the job, because on

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 have

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

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. After running the Process Id Scalars filter I do not see any changes in the distribution of the data. However I guess that they are already

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
