Hi folks. Has anyone ever installed paraview on SGI Altix 4000? If I compiled paraview with "PARAVIEW_USE_MPI" option setting to ON, the paraview didn't work properly. For example, I first started the MPI version pvserver on the supercomputer by issuing "DISPLAY=:0 mpirun -np 4 ./pvserver --use-offscreen-rendering", then I launched paraview locally and connected it to the pvserver on the supercomputer. Normally, at the center of paraview display area, there should have three reference lines of a coordinate system. However, my paraview just displayed a black square. I have also tried the non-MPI version and the precompiled version of Paraview. They worked fine. I don't know if the problem is MPI implementation problem. I have heard that SGI's MPI implementation is kind of different. However, other programs, such as glxgears, worked fine by using the SGI implementation. Also, if I use the x forwarding to start the MPI version of pvserver, the rendering result is also correct. So, I am not quite convinced that the problem is MPI problem and I am quiet confused. I will highly appreciate any of your comments. Thanks!
