<p class="MsoNormal">Hi,<br>
<br>
We have been experimenting with using Paraview to display very volumes from very<br>
large TIFF stacks generated by whole-brain microscopy equipment. The test stack<br>
has dimensions of 5,368x10,695x150. Stack is assembled in ImageJ from individual<br>
TIFFs, exported as a RAW and loaded into paraview. Saved as a .vti for<br>
convenience. Can view slices fine in standalone paraview client on a 256GB machine.<br>
<br>
When we attempt volume rendering on this data across multiple nodes with MPI<br>
nothing appears in the client. Surface view works as expected. On switching to<br>
volume rendering the client's display will show nothing. There are no messages<br>
from the client or servers - no output.<br>
<br>
This is happening when running pvserver across GPU nodes with NVIDIA Tesla<br>
cards, or using CPU only with OSMESA. pvserver memory usage is well below what<br>
we have on the nodes - no memory warnings/errors.<br>
<br>
Data is about 17GB, 8 billion cells. If we downsize to ~4GB or ~9GB then we can<br>
get working volume rendering. The 17GB never works regardless of scaling<br>
nodes/mpi processes. The 4/9GB will work on 1 or 2 nodes.<br>
<br>
Am confused by the lack of rendering, as we don't have memory issues, or an<br>
other messages at all. Am wondering if there are any inherent limitation, or I'm<br>
missing something stupid.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
<br>
Dave Trudgian<br>
