This system is still running 10.9 and is scheduled for a 10.11 upgrade in the near-term – presumably the warning message will go away with 10.11 ……. ________________________________ Rick Angelini USArmy Research Laboratory CISD/HPC Architectures Team Phone: 410-278-6266

OS X 10.11 corrected an OpenGL driver issue that this error is reporting. It is down in the VTK stack. I do not know if we should be worried or not about the warning/error. -- Mike Jackson [[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> < Caution-mailto:[email protected] > ] Angelini, Richard C (Rick) CIV USARMY RDECOM ARL (US) < Caution-mailto:[email protected] > May 31, 2016 at 4:07 PM I have the following message from one of my local ParaView users: Following is the message I am getting with the Paraview 5 client on the Mac. It appears to work in spite of this warning. Warning: In /Users/kitware/buildbot-slave/paraview-bigmac-osx-shared-release_opengl2_osx10_7_qt4_superbuild/build/paraview/src/paraview/VTK/Rendering/OpenGL2/vtkOpenGLPolyDataMapper.cxx, line 2856 vtkCompositeMapperHelper (0x7fbc4b0e7800): VTK is working around a bug in Apple-AMD hardware related to gl_PrimitiveID. This may cause significant memory and performance impacts. Your hardware has been identified as vendor ATI Technologies Inc. with renderer of ATI Radeon HD 5770 OpenGL Engine and version 4.1 ATI-1.24.39 About this Mac has the following information about my system: Graphics ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024 MB The user does not see this error running ParaView 4.x.x … so – presumably this warning message is related to OpenGL2 running on an older graphics card??? Is this something we should be worried about in the short-term? I’m not sure how much longer this older Mac will be in service – but will we run in to issues with OpenGL2 which will preclude it from working on these older systems? ________________________________ Rick Angelini USArmy Research Laboratory CISD/HPC Architectures Team Phone: 410-278-6266 _______________________________________________ Powered by Caution-www.kitware.com < Caution-http://www.kitware.com > Visit other Kitware open-source projects at Caution-http://www.kitware.com/opensource/opensource.html < Caution-http://www.kitware.com/opensource/opensource.html > Please keep messages on-topic and check the ParaView Wiki at: Caution-http://paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView < Caution-http://paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView > Search the list archives at: Caution-http://markmail.org/search/?q=ParaView < Caution-http://markmail.org/search/?q=ParaView > Follow this link to subscribe/unsubscribe: Caution-http://public.kitware.com/mailman/listinfo/paraview < Caution-http://public.kitware.com/mailman/listinfo/paraview >
