<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>
