Thanks, Ken.<br>
You are right, the pop up message box shows no -display option in
windows.<br>
So for my case, 4 cpu cores and 2 gpus, how shall I set up the pvserver
to use all the resources? <br>
thanks a lot.<br>

<title>Re: [Paraview] pvserver -display on windows</title>
<font face="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><span
style="font-size: 11pt;">The –display argument is only available for X
windows. It has no meaning for the native displays on Windows or Mac.
If you try to use it on Windows, you should get an error message that
the –display argument is unknown and it should list all the arguments
available. As I recall, on windows it actually pops up a dialog box
listing the arguments rather than printing them to stdout or stderr.
Perhaps pvserver is hanging because it is waiting for you to hit the
OK button on all these dialog boxes which, for some reason, you are not
seeing.<br>

I am trying to setup a pvserver on a workstation with 4 cores and 2<br>
gpus. The workstation is running windows 7 64bit, MPICH2 1.2.1p1, and<br>
ParaView 3.8.0-RC2. Here is my local pvserver command<br>
<br>
mpiexec -channel nemesis -n 2 .\pvserver.exe -display :0.0<br>
--use-offscreen-rendering : -n 2 .\pvserver.exe -display :0.1<br>
--use-offscreen-rendering<br>
<br>
Somehow the command hangs. Is -display option available in windows? If<br>
so, what is the right way to use it? I was trying to put 2 core + 1 gpu<br>
together. If there is another way to optimize the use of cpu and gpu,<br>
please let me know. Thanks a lot.<br>
<br>
Best,<br>
