Remote and distributed visualization

Intro to remote visualization (11 min)

This video covers various remote visualization techniques, discusses CPU vs. GPU rendering on HPC clusters, and addresses the question of how many CPU cores you need to process and render your dataset(s).

Small remote visualization (10 min)

Update: On Compute Canada clusters load the offscreen CPU-rendering ParaView 5.8.0 module with

$ module load gcc/9.3.0 paraview-offscreen/5.8.0

and on your laptop use ParaView 5.8.x.

Large remote visualization (11 min)

Update: On Compute Canada clusters load the offscreen CPU-rendering ParaView 5.8.0 module with

$ module load gcc/9.3.0 paraview-offscreen/5.8.0

and on your laptop use ParaView 5.8.x.

Using cluster GPUs for rendering (5 min)

Update: On Compute Canada clusters load the offscreen GPU-rendering ParaView 5.8.0 module with

$ module load gcc/9.3.0 paraview-offscreen-gpu/5.8.0

We have a workaround for the GPU driver bug mentioned in the video – please check slide 48 in part 2.
