The server seems to load the dataset properly but no image is shown on the client.
OK, so is this the crash or a new issue? If there's no image how could you tell the server loaded the dataset correctly?

same result. I disabled multicore and I was already using 0MB remote rendering threshold. I have tried with paraview on both linux and macosx. The server seems to load the dataset properly but no image is shown on the client.

    Ug. you're using the multicore option to start the servers! I
    believe that this forces remote rendering off. That would explain
    your issues. Could you try duisabling the multi core option and
    start your servers manually?

    OK, one possibility is that it may be related to remote rendering
    settings. Under menu Edit->Settings->Render View->Server there is
    a remote render threshold. I always set this to 0 bytes to ensure
    remote parallel rendering. What's yours set to?

    Sorry, I didn't explain it properly. I have already tried to
    connect to a pvserver from a GUI running on the client (without
    an ssh connection then) but it also drains the memory on Xorg.
    What is the load supposed to be on a client-pvserver connection?
    Thanks,

        Jean,

        What you describe is expected. X forwarding doesn't work
        well for visualizing large datasets. The point is : don't
        use X forwarding. The links show how to configure the client
        server connection without X forwarding. Make sure that there
        is no -X on the ssh command line.

        When I do that Xorg process on the client drains the memory
        up until it crashes. The connection I think is properly
        established since it works fine for smaller datasets. What
        should the load on the client be in that case?

            Yes, this is expected. The OpenGL calls get piped to
            your local system. This includes data like vertices and
            colors as well. X forwarding doesn't give good
            performance and with large data it may not even be
            feasible.

            You need to set up client server connection.

            Hi all,
            I have a rather large unstructured pvtu dataset (about
            4 million points) which I am visualizing on a remote
            server. I am running the paraview GUI (with the
            multicore option) on the server and I connect to it
            via ssh sharing the X server. In this way I can
            control the GUI running on the serve. I thought that
            with this configuration I would only receive a
            screenshot of the window and no actual data from
            paraview but the client seems to share at least some
            of the load of the visualization. Is this the expected
            behaviour? How can I avoid loading data on the client
            side?
            Thanks in advance,
