<div>Utkarsh/All,</div>
<div>I head that VisIt started communicating between different cores/ processes on a single node using interthread communication (rather than MPI). I would assume this is using openMP or some such. Anyway, my notes also say that they picked up a 2x speedup.
Would it be worthwhile moving ParaView to not use MPI to communicate within a node? As nodes pick up more and more cores, this may become more important.</div>
