<div>I have just a few days ago gotten to the same conclusion. Reading some large PLY files on our Cray nodes which only have 32Gb of memory, I would run out of memory and crash. Checking memory usage with the "Memory Inspector" will show that everything is
loaded on rank 0.<br>
<br>
Using the D3 filter works and is able to re-distribute the data among all tasks. I suggest you try D3.<br>
<br>
Note also that ParaView is not able to animate through a time-dependent series of files, using the GUI. Never got any feedback on an earlier post (<a href="http://public.kitware.com/pipermail/paraview/2015-January/032999.html%29." target="_blank">http://public.kitware.com/pipermail/paraview/2015-January/032999.html).</a>
I resorted to some python programming to run the animation.<br>
