HP SVA V2.1 Visualization System Software Reference Guide

on this job. Without this option, the same Display Surface
would use only its mono capabilities.
-l or --local
Use the local X display (the current X desktop) as part of
the SVA job. The Paraview GUI is displayed there, rather
than on a Display Surface. If you use this option in addition
to --display_surface, then the Paraview GUI displays
on the local display and Paraview uses the Display Surface
for its 3D graphics data display.
-f or --framelock
Enables hardware framelock on any Display Surface for
interactive or non-interactive jobs.
Requires an NVIDIA framelock-capable graphics card and
the NVIDIA Quadro G-Sync option card installed.
-v or --verbose
Provides additional debugging feedback to the screen as
the script runs.
-V or --version
Displays the version of this script.
-h or --help
Displays Help for the script.
Returns
None.
Description
Important:
This is a script that may require site-specific customizing before you can use it to run ParaView
on your cluster.
This script launches a Bash shell job script to run the distributed ParaView application. It is
located in the /opt/sva/bin directory.
The script allocates cluster resources, launches necessary ancillary applications (for example, the
X Servers), runs the application on the right nodes, and terminates the application at the end of
the session.
This command launches ParaView by requesting and allocating visualization nodes to the job.
The display takes place on the Display Surface you specify as an option, and which is specific to
your cluster. The launch script runs the master portion of the application on a display node.
Where the master application runs is based on the Execution Host value for the Display Surface
as specified in the Configuration Data Files. You can determine this value by examining the Site
Configuration File /hptc_cluster/sva/etc/sva.conf.
In addition to starting the session and launching the sample application, the sva_paraview.sh
script also terminates X and cleans up the session when the program is done.
