[Paraview] Large VTK file

[Berk Geveci]

The VTK file format is not a parallel format. Therefore ParaView has
to load the whole thing on one processor and redistribute it
afterwards. You don't have enough memory to do that. You will have to
use a parallel file format such as the XML VTK file format - pvtX
where X depends on the data type.
