Hi All, I am trying to get parallel GPU accelerated volume rendering happening and I just want to confirm my understanding below is correct...
For GPU acceleration I will require X Server running on each node so that ParaView can create a local OpenGL context to enable OpenGL calls to the hardware. The OpenGL context needs to use something like NVIDIA libraries as it ignores anything that might have OpenGL implemented in software (e.g. Mesa). Googling shows me that it is possible to create screenless X Server configurations that use video hardware (e.g. with a NVIDIA Tesla). So in a cluster I am assuming that this is what I need to do for each node that I wish to participate in the parallel rendering. Is the above correct? Or is there a simplier way of doing it?
