<div dir="ltr">Sorry, I didn't explain it properly. I have already tried to connect to a pvserver from a GUI running on the client (without an ssh connection then) but it also drains the memory on Xorg. What is the load supposed to be on a client-pvserver connection?<div>

What you describe is expected. X forwarding doesn't work well for
visualizing large datasets. The point is : don't use X forwarding.
The links show how to configure the client server connection without
X forwarding. Make sure that there is no -X on the ssh command line.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>

the memory up until it crashes. The connection I think is
properly established since it works fine for smaller datasets.
What should the load on the client be in that case?

expected. The OpenGL calls get piped to your local system.
This includes data like vertices and colors as well. X
forwarding doesn't give good performance and with large
data it may not even be feasible.<br>
<br>
You need to set up client server connection.<br>

<div dir="ltr">Hi all,
<div>I have a rather large unstructured pvtu
dataset (about 4 million points) which I am
visualizing on a remote server. I am running the
paraview GUI (with the multicore option) on the
server and I connect to it via ssh sharing the X
server. In this way I can control the GUI
running on the serve. I thought that with this
configuration I would only receive a screenshot
of the window and no actual data from paraview
but the client seems to share at least some of
the load of the visualization. Is this the
expected behaviour? How can I avoid loading data
on the client side?</div>
<div>Thanks in advance,</div>
