paraview meeting notes 3-17-2011

3.10 released? Alan

3.10.1 utkarsh 3.10.0.6

3.10.1 immediate bug fix

alan: turns out we have memory leak in paraview which is fatal--bad juju not yet in bugtracker, hopes by end of tonight will have info easiest way to replicate; 300 files, wiposhield, 100 million cells, 256 cores turn off variable, dataset memory footprint doesn't go down what reader? any. data container, template alan planning to go to smaller dataset with smaller # cores

3.10.0 memory footprint twice 3.8.1 cth or exodus

another place seems to leak; play forward, memory leak grows totalview

greg: plot overlain feature: --checkbox for all variables vs no variables in display tab --somehow the view properties when you try to set to autoscaling or fixed range, somehow flaky

3.10.2 new features discussion: prism 3.10.2

scott's wish list prism bug fixes

cth reader density bug

alan all of isolated prism fixes we could in 3.10.2 all of cth amr cleanups that we know of in clip pass variables NOT change cube axes because it sounds major

prism: right on cusp of really becoming of interest, especially to people such as Jason Loki and his group and work he is doing cth Jason Loki and all cth users--

greg context like this: prism is about to roll out, allegro users will like it, also cth users will like it, turns out most allegro users also know how to run cth, lots of cth users

capability might pull them into paraview general functionality with being able to handle amr data sets

also, with cth; taught paraview specific to cth --discouraging how many places it was hackie extract cth parts

extract cth parts will have guts replaced; will remain same

may want 3 clip planes independently controllable

4.0 too busy with other stuff to think 4.0

ldev paper nathan gorden bell submission, university of colorado

gearing up to run 160k cores

doing isosurfacing in situ transferring geometry to a viz cluster live almost animation speed moving entire data to viz cluster

aim to have in situ library, i/o library, w/o user having to do mpi code
