Re: [Paraview] parallel processing in volume rendering and Merge Blocks filter ...

Hi Ufuk, The Merge Blocks filter will work locally on each process and shouldn't move any of the data between MPI processes since it's a trivially parallel operation. When doing volume rendering of unstructured grids (the output dataset type of the merge blocks filter) with Ice-T in parallel,

Hi Andy, Thanks for the clarification. One minor question, after applying Merge Blocks is it still processing in serial mode or can i use MPI to improve the performance? By the way, i am also using NVIDIA Index plugin. I think that it supports parallel rendering but again not for multi block

Hi Ufuk, ParaView doesn't currently support volume rendering of multiblock datasets, even in serial, so using the Merge Blocks filter is probably the best way to do any volume rendering of your dataset. Cheers, Andy On Wed, Sep 20, 2017 at 2:45 PM, Ufuk Turuncoglu <

Hi, I am trying to perform volume rendering (VR) using multi-block + multi-piece dataset. In this case, the data file has single block that contains multiple piece (created by MPI parallel simulation code) and it is in structured grid. When I try to use volume rendering with raw data, it
