It sounds like Dave is volunteering to add the machines.pvx method to the Wiki page. I personally don't even know how to set up a normal client/server connection with it. It is not documented in the book.

That will let you assign displays to each process on the server. See the ParaView guide p134. for details. David E DeMarle Kitware, Inc.

The secret is to ensure in your case that mpi jobs 0,1 have Display:0 2,3 have Display:1 4,5 have Display:2 6,7 have Display:3 and then all will be well. you'll need a rather complicated mpirun -e blah blah command line. JB Hi, I currently have one linux node with four GPUs and a single 8 core CPU I'd like to setup as a Paraview server. I am unsure how to go about setting things up so that MPI assigns each pair of cores a different GPU, or if problems would arise with the 2 core/1 GPU ratio. Could someone who has experience with this issue give me some pointers regarding the setup? This thread, for example, seems to imply that I would run multiple instances of pvserver, somehow pointing each to a different GPU? http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg00501.html Thanks, Christine ________________________________ _______________________________________________ Powered by www.kitware.com <http://www.kitware.com> Visit other Kitware open-source projects at http://www.kitware.com/opensource/opensource.html Please keep messages on-topic and check the ParaView Wiki at: http://paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView Follow this link to subscribe/unsubscribe: http://www.paraview.org/mailman/listinfo/paraview **** Kenneth Moreland *** Sandia National Laboratories *********** *** *** *** email: [email protected] ** *** ** phone: (505) 844-8919 *** web: http://www.cs.unm.edu/~kmorel
