Hello David, thanks for your reply. Indeed, I haven't used the partitioner. I also have problems importing my data, the image I get doesn't make sense at all.
I'm a student in the CS department of Princeton, and I'm working on a new benchmark suite for shared memory computers. I wanted to use OpenDX as one of the benchmark programs, but it proved to be difficult to set up and use. I'd appreciate if I could get some help. The benchmark should run approx. 20 seconds with a single CPU on a modern computer. The test data I wanted to use first is the head from the Siggraph Volume Visualization Data Sets: http://www.siggraph.org/education/materials/vol-viz/3dhead.zip I've used the following (nonfunctional) OpenDX .general file to import my data: file = /home/cbienia/3dhead grid = 109 256 256 format = msb ieee interleaving = field majority = column field = Density structure = scalar type = short dependency = positions positions = 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1 end I'm also looking for a visual program that does the volume rendering in parallel. The one I wrote myself doesn't work at all. Does anybody have such a program available? I'd appreciate if I could get a copy. Thanks a lot for the help in advance! - Chris On Thu, 2006-09-14 at 00:19, David Thompson wrote: > Solaris should have automatic SMP capabilities.
