Hi, I've built Paraview servers on Mac OS X (10.5.6 intel x86_64) with PARAVIEW_USE_MPI=ON. I'm going to run the servers on a MacPro with 8 CPUs and with a single graphics card.
I understand that % mpirun -np 8 pvserver is meaningful for data processing since it will be done in parallel using 8 CPUs. But, I think it is redundant for rendering since there is only one graphics card. In fact, when I run the above command, there appear 8 windows, but rendering seems to be done on only one of them with other 7 windows being blank. So, I guess I should launch the pvdataserver with MPI but the pvrenderserver without MPI like this: % mpirun -np 8 pvdataserver % pvrenderserver Is my understanding correct? Thank you.
