sva_ensight82.sh (1)
NAME
sva_ensight82.sh -- Launches the EnSight application.
Synopsis
sva_ensight82.sh [ -d display-surface ] [ -r nodecount-per-pipeline] [ -p
partition-name ] [ -g resolution] [ -s ] [ -f ] [ -v ] [ -V ] [ -h ]
Parameters
-d display-surface or
--display_surface name
Selects a Display Surface to use in VR mode. The execution
host is always the node where the script is launched. There
is no default display, which means the resulting image
appear in the EnSight display window. In VR mode, the
image in the client display window is limited to bounding
boxes.
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 nodecount-per-pipeline
or --pipeline
nodecount-per-pipeline
Specifies the number of rendering nodes to use in each
pipeline. This is not the total number of render nodes; it is
the number per pipeline. For a multi-tiled display, the
number of render nodes is: (nodecount-per-pipeline
– 1) times the number of tiles in the
display.
-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.
-g or --tile_geometry
resolution
Sets the tile geometry for each of the tiles in the Display
Surface and all render nodes. This option does not control
the resolution of the EnSight client. 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 --sos
Specifies the number of servers to use for server-of-servers.
The EnSight client acts as the server-of-servers.
