Sample ParaView session on compute node(s)
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 bash-4.2$ module load intel-para bash-4.2$ module load ParaView/4.4.0-mpi-devel
Next, we allocate some resources for our ParaView server, and run the ParaView server (in this example session on 1 node, using 24 tasks)
bash-4.2$ salloc --partition=devel --nodes=1 --time=00:20:00 salloc: Pending job allocation 1711109 salloc: job 1711109 queued and waiting for resources salloc: job 1711109 has been allocated resources salloc: Granted job allocation 1711109 bash-4.2$ srun --nodes=1 --ntasks=24 pvserver
which will produce the following output from the ParaView server:
Waiting for client... Connection URL: cs://jrc0036:11111 Accepting connection(s): jrc0036:11111
where
jrc0036:11111
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:jrc0036:11111 jureca
- Now, we can open the GUI on our workstation and connect to the pvserver running on JURECA:
In the dialog that will now pop up, press "Add Server" and setup the server as follows:
Then, make sure your newly created server is selected and click the Connect button in the Choose Server Configuration dialog.
