-np 16 Total number of processes that mpirun should start.IP address of viz001, for instance, and the number of cores it has (slots=8). Contents are lines that look like 172.18.4.11 slots=8. -hostfile ~matthb2/hostfile-ib File specifying list of hosts.

Same as PATH, but for dynamically-linked libraries.

-x LD_LIBRARY_PATH The lookup path for shared libraries.PATH is an environment variable maintained by the shell. -x PATH The lookup path for the binary.

0 is the default graphics hardware, whereas 1, 2, etc could be VNC servers or other software display. Could do viz002:0 to use graphics card on viz002 instead. -x DISPLAY=':0' Location of the X-server.The -x flag means 'copy a variable' from the machine you run mpirun from (the headnode) to those it's starting processes on (the slaves). In traditional unix, the prefix directory contains bin, etc, include, lob, share directories associated with the program. Make sure to add one of the macros from softenv first, as it will set the best mpirun path for that version. -prefix A mpirun is located at A/bin/mpirun the which mpirun command will tell you this.Mpirun -prefix A -x DISPLAY=':0' -x PATH -x LD_LIBRARY_PATH -hostfile ~matthb2/hostfile-ib -np 16 pvserver To visualize using more than one viz node, start a ParaView server utilizing multiple viz nodes with N is the number of processes, maximum of 8 on one viz node.To visualize cases in parallel on one viz node, start the ParaView server in parallel with Parallel (Client/Server) Mode One viz node The properties of the visualization element can then be controlled in the 'properties' tab.įor more help with the ParaView GUI, see ParaView's tutorial. To visualize a particular flow property, choose that property from the dropdown menu in the 'active variable controls' toolbar, and then click the button corresponding to the type of visualization you want (contour, slice, etc.) in the 'common' toolbar. To actually see your model, click the 'apply' button on the properties tab. pht file will appear in the 'pipeline browser' within ParaView. To launch a single threaded ParaView instance, first connect via VNC, then use vglconnect to connect to one of the compute machines:Īdd the desired version of ParaView to your environment (the below example will get the 'default' version)
