I have a very large data set: 512x512x512 cells. Loading the mesh into the memory takes over 120GB and the memory on a single node is a problem for me. I am wandering if paraview can load the data in memory on multiple nodes so that there is more memory in total?

Thanks.

Generally speaking, yes. ParaView can be run in parallel (http://www.paraview.org/Wiki/Users_Guide_Client-Server_Visualization) to distribute the data across nodes.

What kind of file format this is? Based on the file-format, the reader could either read in partitioned data on processes or will read on single node and then one will have to redistribute using filters.

  • Thanks. I will look into the client-server mode. My data is generated from OpenFOAM and it is available on a single node. Can you provide more information on using filters. – user2196452 Sep 20 '13 at 19:55
