When you work in parallel, paraview automatically subdivide your data in many pieces according with the number of processors you have. If not you need to do that yourself by using D3 filter by example. Each processor has a copy of you code and work separately on the piece of data he has. Paraview by IceT collect and diplay the output but the result is still on each process. If you want to have the result on the the root you can collect the data yourself to the node0. If anytime you want to see the different data each process has you can apply ProcessId filter.
Arolde. Hi! I?m not sure if I understood well how Paraview is working in parallel mode: I have started Paraview in client/server mode, i.e. with mpirun -np 8 ./pvserver and then I started the client and connected. I?m not sure how this works with filters: I?ve written a few filters, and when I run Paraview in parallel, is the filter parallelized as well, automatically? That on every piece of data the filter is applied separately and necessary data of other pieces is send there by mpi? Or is the filter computed on a single node and I have to change something in order to make it work parallel? Applying the ProcessId-Filter on the output of my filter, it says that it was computed separately on every piece of dataset, I?m just wondering, because the filter uses the whole dataset to compute the desired output.. thx for explaining, Natalie 2009/3/4 <[email protected]> > Send ParaView mailing list submissions to > [email protected] > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > http://www.paraview.org/mailman/listinfo/paraview > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > [email protected] > > You can reach the person managing the list at > [email protected] > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of ParaView digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.
