[Paraview] How to optimize ParaView compilation

[Moreland, Kenneth]

If you mean turn on the appropriate optimization flags in the compiler, then yes all you have to do is set CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE to Release.  You might also want to look at the CMAKE_C_FLAGS_RELEASE  and CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_RELEASE variables.  These are the actual flags that get added, but if you are using the Gnu compiler you should be fine.

You don't really need to worry about the MPIEXEC_MAX_NUMPROCS variable.  That is just used when running the tests.  It has no effect on how pvserver gets launched, which you will have to do yourself.

I'm sorry,
I forgot this: MPIEXEC_MAX_NUMPROCS variable must be changed (default value is 2, but we have 64 cores)?

Thank you again.

Hi Ken, hi all.
I was wondering whether to compile ParaView 3.6.2 to optimize the speed, we only have to set CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE = Release in CCMake Tool, or if you need to set other variables.

Thank you very much again
Luis
