Hi all, I want to visualize simple 3d voxel data: creating iso surfaces, slices etc... First interactive and later in batch mode. As the data sets tend to get quite large (up to 1000x1000x1000 voxels) I probably have to use some parallel computation. pvserver/pvbatch seem the right tools for this, but the computing nodes don't have graphic cards I can use. So I tried compiling pvserver with osmesa and using the --use-offscreen-rendering switch. I tried some combinations of paraview version/mesa-lib with and without mpi. It's always the same: Stand alone paraview can open the (small) test files und display everything I want. When using the client/server mode, the server crashes at the point when more than a simple outline of the data has to be displayed.
Can somebody give instructions how to get a working pvserver fpr use without without graphics hardware (versions, linux distribution, compiler version)? Maybe I could build this system in virtual machine, just to have a valid starting point. I'm using ubuntu, amd64, 7.10 thank you Robert Mueller _______________________________________________ ParaView mailing list [email protected] http://www.paraview.org/mailman/listinfo/paraview
