ParaView

An open-source, multi-platform data analysis and visualization application.

Introduction

ParaView is an open-source, multi-platform data analysis and visualization application. ParaView users can quickly build visualizations to analyze their data using qualitative and quantitative techniques. The data exploration can be done interactively in 3D or programmatically using ParaView's batch processing capabilities.

ParaView was developed to analyze extremely large datasets using distributed memory computing resources. It can be run on supercomputers to analyze datasets of exascale size as well as on laptops for smaller data.

Installed Version

Currently, version 5.1.2 compiled with Intel/2017a against the Intel MPI library and OSMesa 12.0.2 is installed on the clusters.

Usage

On the clusters, ParaView is to be used in the client-server mode. A parallel ParaView server is launched on compute nodes by the user and the client is launched on your desktop PC to control and view the visualization. Download the ParaView client application for your OS here.

!!!Warning Your version must match the version number installed on the cluster.
