Sample ParaView session
Remote Rendering
In this section we show how to use ParaView's server side rendering capabilities on JURECA in a sample session step by step.
- Login to JURECA and load the modules for ParaView
Once the account on JURECA is created, we may connect to one of the login nodes of JURECA with 'ssh user@…'. After successful login we will see the following prompt:
bash-4.2$
Now, we have to load the modules providing the ParaView software
bash-4.2$ module load Stages/Current intel-para ParaView/4.4.0GUI-mpi-devel
and set the DISPLAY environment variable as follows
bash-4.2$ export DISPLAY=:0.0
Next, we allocate some resources for our ParaView server, and run the ParaView server (in this example session on 2 nodes, using 48 tasks)
bash-4.2$ salloc -N 2 -p vis --gres gpu:2 --start-xserver bash-4.2$ srun --export=DISPLAY -n 2 --cpu_bind=none --ntasks=48 --gres=gpu:0 pvserver --use-offscreen-rendering
which will produce the following output from the ParaView server:
Waiting for client... Connection URL: cs://jrc1391:11111 Accepting connection(s): jrc1391:11111
where
jrc1391:11111
is the hostname and portnumber on JURECA the server will listen to.
- As a next step, we establish a tunnel connection to the above mentioned port:
ssh -L 11111:jrc1391:11111 jureca
- Now, we can open the GUI and connect to the pvserver running on JURECA:
Connect-> JURECA (einmalig) einrichten mit Server Type = Client/Server, host = localhost, port = 11111, Startup Type = Manual
