Hi Fan,

at work we are using paraview remotely efficiently by two ways:

- from a cluster: launching pvserver (using mpi for large datasets) and connecting from a laptop/desktop paraview session. This requires very small network bandwith (tested from my home via ADSL for a 1024³ dataset) but should require additional work to go through firewall via a ssh tunnel.

- from a fat node (many cores, huge memory and high end graphic board) with vnc (for remote display). The fat node run vncserver (tigervnc-server) and vncviewer is launched on the laptop/desktop. There are options for easy tunnelling via ssh. This also requires very few network bandwidth and use the remote hardware rendering of the fat node (AMD in our case or Nvidia+virtualGL). You can launch a basic paraview session or a pvserver/paraview session to run pvserver with MPI on several cores.
More simple to set up and to use.

Hope this could help you.

Patrick

Hi ParaView users/developers,

In my works, I need to use ParaView remotely, over the Internet. Displaying the GUI and the images and accepting a selection become very slow. Is there a light-wright version of ParaView (even with lower resolution)? Or, if it is possible, how to configure ParaView so it can be easier to use over the Internet? Thank you.
