[Paraview] Paraview in Parallel-Server mode

[Wylie, Brian]

Randall,
 
Can you elaborate on the poor performance? We can get 30 frames/sec over
100T with IceT, I'm having a hard time believing that MPIRenderModule
actually performs better. The only circumstance I've seen where
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...
 
Also I'm assuming that your compositing threshold is 0MB in both tests,
and subsampling is set to the same value, squirt compression is the
same, etc...

	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.

		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?
