how to get the paraview parallel run
 

I worked on a client and connect with the server(24 cores) by freeNX, I can perform the simulation parallel with openfoam and I can post-process the result with single core by paraview, but I think it is a little slow once I check the result. I want to parallel run the result with paraview. I don't know how to configure the server and client? first I am testing on a single computer with multiple cores? but all failed. can you give me any guidance?

how to get the paraview parallel run
 

hello, is there anyone know how to parallel the paraview? I got a 24 cores server and I connect it by freeNX. I want to render a big case with parallel run. is there anyone know how to do it?

mpirun pvsever
 

Hi

the OpenFOAM reader is, as far as I know, not parallel. However, you could use the paraview native server and a mpirun. I never tried but it would look like this:

touch case.foam

mpirun -np CPUs pvserver -parallel

Touch the case with the Foam reader or every processor of a decomposed case with the OpenFOAM reader.

Greetings to all!

To add to Fabian's answer, I'll quote myself from another thread: This feature allows you to not have to run manually pvserver with mpirun, since ParaView will do this for you.

Nonetheless, keep in mind that using multi-core does not always equate to faster performance.
