[Paraview-developers] Threading

[Scott, W Alan]

Utkarsh/All,
I head that VisIt started communicating between different cores/ processes on a single node using interthread communication (rather than MPI).  I would assume this is using openMP or some such.  Anyway,  my notes also say that they picked up a 2x speedup.  Would it be worthwhile moving ParaView to not use MPI to communicate within a node?  As nodes pick up more and more cores, this may become more important.

Alan
