<html><body><div style="color:#000; background-color:#fff; font-family:times new roman, new york, times, serif;font-size:12pt"><div>Hello,<br><br>I have a question about the way Paraview partitions data
on multiple nodes. It seems to partition the data automatically without
the user having any control.<br>I am currently working on a project at
my university where we are trying to optimize processing time. We want
to tell Paraview how to split up a large data set unto multiple nodes
and then run Paraview in parallel (reverse client/server mode) telling
it that it should use those specific nodes. The goal is to have the
individual nodes perform their calculation and rendering with the local
data fragment that was previously stored there, thus avoiding
additional delays caused by the nodes having to access the head node
where the whole data is stored.<br>
<br>Is this possible? Is there a way to mandate which nodes to use and
how Paraview should split up the data among the nodes? Also can Paraview
tell the individual nodes to work with the locally stored data fragment
instead of accessing the whole data set at the head node?<br>
<br>Thank you very much for your help and I look forward to hearing from you.<br><br>Best,<br>Tom<br></div></div></body></html>
