[Paraview] What is the maximum file size Paraview can handle?

[Biddiscombe, John A.]

Using parallel IO and HDF5, I've worked happily with some files of about 10TB. There is no real limit to the size paraview can handle, it's more about the filesystem and the efficiency of your reader, its parallel decomposition and the number of cores you have available. I think you're really trying to ask, how big a dataset can you manage? In which case the answer is as above - the system you are using is the limiting resource.

Hello,

does anyone have any idea that if we are not short of computational resources, what is the maximum data file size that Paraview can handle?

Thank you,
Pradeep
