sva_paraview.sh(1)
NAME
sva_paraview.sh -- Launches the ParaView application.
Synopsis
sva_paraview.sh [ -d display-surface ] [ -r render-count ] [ -p partition-name
] [ -I ] [ -g ] [ -s ] [ -l ] [ -f ] [ -v ] [ -V ] [ -h ]
Parameters
-d display-surface or
--display-surface name
Selects a Display Surface to use for the job. It also implicitly
selects the execution host for the job because each Display
Surface has a default execution host.
This is a required parameter unless you use the --local
option as an alternative. The two options can be used
together for this command to have the ParaView GUI
appear on the local desktop and have the output appear
simultaneously on a Display Surface.
A Display Surface is a named display that consists of one
or more display devices with a particular orientation. Initial
configuration of the SVA creates a named single-tile
Display Surface for each display node and its associated
display device. A typical default Display Surface is
SVA_DS_1_1.
The site administrator can create additional Display
Surfaces using the Display Surface Configuration Tool.
You can also use this tool to list all the named Display
Surfaces on your cluster. This tool is documented in the
SVA System Administration Guide.
Can be specified in the User Configuration File.
-r render-count or --render
render-count
Requests that a number of render hosts be allocated to this
job as specified by the render-count number.
-p partition-name or
--partition partition-name
Requests resources from the SLURM partition
partition-name. The default partition is used if no
partition is named.
-I or --interactive
Runs ParaView in interactive mode. Interactive mode
allocates nodes and starts X Sservers. You are then placed
in a Shell from which you can run ParaView repeatedly
by invoking sva_paraview.sh without arguments.
-g or --tile_geometry
Sets the tile geometry that each of the tiles uses. Valid
values include 1280x1024, 1400x1050, and 1600x1200.
This value overrides in order of precedence,
tile_geometry values set in the User Configuration File,
for the Display Surface itself in the Display Surface
declaration section of the Site Configuration File, or for the
entire cluster by means of the SVA_CLUSTER section of
Site Configuration File.
-s or --stereo
For Display Surfaces created and defined as stereo-capable
with the Display Surface Configuration tool, this option
causes the Display Surface's stereo capabilities to be used
