[Paraview] Running Paraview as a batch job

[Utkarsh Ayachit]

Hi Luis,

ParaView server can be run in a mode where a group of processes are 
treated as "dataserver" while another group is treated as 
"renderserver". The dataserver does not perform any rendering and can be 
on those machines that don't have X. renderserver needs X or 
alternatively can be built with OSMesa in which case it does not need X.

To run in render server mode do the following

$ ./pvdataserver
$ ./pvrenderserver
$ ./paraview
Make sure that in the "Configure New Server" dialog when adding a new 
server connection to choose the "Client/Data Server/Render server" option.

As far as using CPU as GPU, I am guessing you are looking for software 
rendering. In that case build paraview with Mesa.
