MPIRenderModule outperforms IceT is when the client is like a laptop with really
slow pixel scaling. Can you give me details of your setup... cluster specs...
network specs... client specs...</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV></DIV>I would stick with the default (IceTDesktopRenderModule) and tweak
3D view settings parameters until the performances is good. I think I have a
power point presentation talking about the parameters and what they do. Ken
presented it at supercomputing and it explains different options very clearly.
I can share it. <BR><BR>-Berk<BR><BR>

<DIV>Is there a preferred Render Module to use when running Paraview in
Single-Display Multiple-Server mode. I'm running a pvserver across our
12-node cluster and getting pretty poor performance with the Default.
Specifying the MPIRenderModule helps, but the IceTDesktopRenderModule seems
pretty bad. Is there a Preferred module to use, and reasons why you'ld
use one over the other? <BR clear=all></DIV>
