[Paraview] At last -- Anti-aliasing in ParaView!

2016-09-29 Thread David Lonie 
I'm happy to announce that ParaView now includes an option for FXAA
anti-aliasing, which works quite nicely for both serial and parallel
rendering. It is available in the current master branch on gitlab/github,
but is disabled by default so you'll need to check some boxes in the
Settings to use it.

You can read more about it on the Kitware blog:

https://blog.kitware.com/new-fxaa-anti-aliasing-option-in-paraviewvtk/

Big thanks to Sandia National Labs for supporting this work.

Cheers,
Dave

Great! Yup that's the one. Glad it's working better.

I downloaded the binary 
ParaView-5.1.2-522-g96621b3-Qt4-OpenGL2-MPI-Linux-64bit


and with that it does not crash,

 

thanks again,

Stefan,

A lot of fixes have gone into ParaView "master" that fixes and
improves CML support. If you're not keen on building, let me know
which OS you're on and I can point you to the nightly binaries for the
same. BTW, ParaView 5.2 release candidates should come out around Oct
7, if that helps.

Re: [Paraview] Building ParaView v5.1.2 on Linux from source with support for GPU and SWR.

2016-09-29 Thread Albina, Frank 
Hi Chuck,
Thank you very much for your reply. It is very interesting and I will try my 
best to get ParaView compiled following your recommendations.
Unfortunately, others duties are holding me off this week from concentrating on 
this but I will share my test results comparing ParaView on GPU, with mesa-llvm 
and mesa-swr-avx2.
Talk to you soon.
Best regards,
Frank.

Chuck (Cc'd) does this quite a bit. There are scripts he has committed
which are used to build for specific platforms which you may be able to
start using, but he's the best source of instructions for those.

Hi Frank,

The updated superbuild uses a common shared set of packages that we use for 
several different projects and then the top level project which is ParaView 
specific. To use this, you'll want to check out the current master branch in 
the paraview-superbuild, run "git submodule init", and then "git submodule 
update".  This will put you at the current state of things.

You can browse the build script I have committed in Scripts/sites for linux 
clusters and Cray systems at Los Alamos National Labs and the DoD HPC network.  
They but they're a bit complicated though as I use them in a very generic 
fashion with lots of options for a lot of different build configurations.  The 
gist of it though is to encode all of the options you would need to turn on in 
a pre-configured CMake cache script. Note that this is actually a CMake script 
that sets the initial cache values and not and not just a list of variables 
like in CMakeCache.txt .  See cmake/sites for a few examples.  Doing this 
simplifies your build to just:
cd /path/to/build/location
cmake -C /path/to/MySystem-Cache.cmake /path/to/superbuild/source

# no -j here but don't worry, the subprojects will build in parallel
make

# Make the resulting ParaView package
ctest -R cpack-paraview-TGZ

The end result is ParaView-5.1.2-OpenGL2-MPI-Linux-64bit.tar.gz that you can 
extract anywhere to install.  Using ctest to drive the packaging is a bit 
weird, I know, but trust me that there were various reasons for that which 
could warrant it's own separate thread.

This allows you to keep MySystem-Cache.cmake under source control to maintain a 
consistent build.  For your configuration, the specific options of interest to 
run on are ENABLE_osmesa and ENABLE_ospray.  Our default configuration of 
osmesa will enable SWR.  What you'll end up with is a pvserver / pvbatch that 
uses OSMesa for off-screen CPU based rendering without X but with both llvmpipe 
and swr drivers built.  You can switch between the by setting the 
GALLIUM_DRIVER env var to either llvmpipe or swr.
Hope that gives you a good place to get started.

Re: [Paraview] Crash among plotting cml files

2016-09-29 Thread Stefan Ringe 

Hi Utkarsh,

 

thanks for the hint, is this https://open.cdash.org/index.php?project=ParaView the correct link? I have Debian Skretch (Debian 4.6.4-1) installed with the Linux Kernel 4.6.0-1-amd64, which one should I download?

 

best,

 

Stefan

A lot of fixes have gone into ParaView "master" that fixes and
