See “Changing Data Files” (pg. 20) for a description of how to change the Site Configuration File.
User Configuration File
The User Configuration File is located at ~/sva_<cluster-name>.conf, where <cluster-name> is
the name of the cluster as specified in the Site Configuration File by the SVA_CLUSTER_NAME tag. The use
of <cluster-name> in the name of the User Configuration File makes it possible to have different
configuration files if you have access to more than one visualization cluster. The creation and use of this file
is optional.
You choose the content of the User Configuration File. Tag definitions are in Table 1-5. An example file
contains the following sections and tags:
[SVA_JOB]
SVA_COMPUTE_COUNT=number
SVA_DISPLAY_SURFACE=surface_name
SVA_EXECUTION_HOST=host_name
SVA_PARTITION=partition_name
SVA_RENDER_COUNT=number
SVA_USE_REMOTE3D=boolean
SVA_USE_DMX=boolean
Job Settings File
Job data is defined at job allocation time from options specified to the job script, and from data access calls
embedded in the script. The calls draw data from the Site and User Configuration Files. The Job Settings File
is located in /hptc_cluster/sva/job/<id>.conf. The <id> in the name of the file is the SLURM Job
ID.
The Job Settings File has a lifespan equal to that of the job. When the application uses the svaPutData
call, values are set in this file. It can be used to communicate options to job components. Refer to the SVA
Visualization System Software Reference Guide for the syntax of this call.
The content of the Job Settings File varies from job to job. Tag definitions are in Table 1-6 and Table 1-7.
An example file contains the following sections and tags:
