Overview
ParaView: ParaView is an open-source, multi-platform data analysis and visualization application. ParaView users can quickly build visualizations to analyze their data using qualitative and quantitative techniques. The data exploration can be done interactively in 3D or programmatically using ParaView’s batch processing capabilities.
Using
Use the module name paraview to discover versions available and to load the application.
Run paraview from a SouthPass interactive desktop session.
Using on Loren via FastX
If you are using ParaView, via the FastX service for Loren, then then from the terminal enter:
[]$ module load apps/paraview/5.8.1 2 []$ MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=4.5 paraview
Considerations when accessing via FastX:
Clusters are typically focused on computation whose architecture are not designed to run GUI type applications. To be able to run ParaView as a GUI you will need to use either our SouthPass or FastX services, depending on which cluster you are trying to access from.
These are a multi-purpose workstations and not specific to only ParaView.
Consider using this workstation as a way to view simulation results, not as a compute node to run simulations on.
It has not been tested to run pvserver parallel jobs.
There is no 3D GPU acceleration on this machine.
