Thanks Utkarsh. Just to add to this thread, I asked some of the OMPI developers and apparently it's not possible to avoid this behavior.

Yup, that's expected. That's because of your MPI implementation. OpenMPI does a busy wait when waiting for mpi messages. I think there's an environment variable or something that you can set to disable that, I am no sure. Maybe someone on the mailing list knows, or try checking the OpenMPI documentation.

Is this to be expected? (Just running the serial './pvserver' of course just generates 'Listening...Waiting for client...' with no CPU load).

% ./pvserver --version
ParaView3.7

% ompi_info
               Open MPI: 1.3.1

thanks, Randy
