to verify make a small job on 1 node. In the shell you are starting
pvserver in, after you've done all the environment settings you need to
to setup for paraview, run "glxinfo" and look for the gl vendor, gl
version and gl renderer strings. these should give you info about your
tesla. that can be done from your batch script or at the command prompt.
some systems like cray mpiexec command (aprun) runs the program on a
different set of nodes than the batch script itself, so for a system
like that run "aprun -n 1 glxinfo".

HI Burlen,
Thanks again. Is there and easy way to verify that Paraview is
using the GPU ours are TESLA C2075?
Should I need to change the "MOD"(?) setting so it is rendering rather
than compute?

Hi Christopher,
Are you by any chance logged in with ssh X11 forwarding (ssh -X ...)?
It seems the error you report comes up often in that context. X
forwarding would not be the right way to run PV on your cluster.
Depending on how your cluster is setup you may need to start up the
xserver before launching PV, and make sure to close it after PV
exits. IUn that scenario your xorg.conf would specify the nvidia
driver and a screen for each gpu which you would refernece in the
shell used to start PV through the DISPLAY variable. If you already
have x11 running and screens configured then it's just a matter of
setting the display variable correctly. When there are multiple GPU's
per node then you'd need to set the display using mpi rank modulo the
number of gpus per node.
I'm not sure it matters that much but I don't think that you want
--use-offscreen-rendering option.

Hi,
Managed to get a "working version of Paraview-4.2.0.1" on our GPU
cluster but when I try to run the
parallelSphere.py script on more than one node it just hangs. Work
like it is supposed to up to 12 cores on a single node. I am still
trying work out if I a running on the GPU "tesla- C2070).

The goal is to be able to support batch rendering on the whole
cluster ~96 nodes.
Also do I need set another environment variable in my Paraview
module to make the Xlib
warning go away?
[cbording@f100 Paraview]$ mpirun -n 12 pvbatch
--use-offscreen-rendering parallelSphere.py
Xlib: extension "NV-GLX" missing on display "localhost:50.0".
Xlib: extension "NV-GLX" missing on display "localhost:50.0".
Xlib: extension "NV-GLX" missing on display "localhost:50.0".
Xlib: extension "NV-GLX" missing on display "localhost:50.0".
Xlib: extension "NV-GLX" missing on display "localhost:50.0".
Xlib: extension "NV-GLX" missing on display "localhost:50.0".
Is this related to my not being able to run across multiple nodes?
