[Paraview] Memory issue for remote visualization

[Dennis Conklin]

All,

As we start down the road to parallel visualization, our first baby steps are to try remote visualization.

In Redhat, I ssh onto a node with ~30 gigs of memory available (free -m)   I start pvserver.
Back on my machine I launch paraview541 and connect to the server.  The Memory Inspector shows 2.1 GB of total system ram on the server.
If I try to load a model of any size, the server bombs on a segmentation error (memory).

If I log onto the remote node with 30 GB free memory, I can only run standalone paraview if I use the -mesa-llvm command line.   When I do this,  Memory Inspector in standalone Paraview says there is only 2.1 GB of total system memory.

Am I missing something - I don't see  how this is ever going to work if neither a remote paraview or a remote pvserver can see and/or access the available free memory on the remote machine.

Thanks for any hints

Dennis
