[Paraview] How to run ParaView in parallel

[Victor]

Can anyone offer any insights for my problem? Each data set is from 6gb to
13gb in size and we have a compute cluster on site, and even my own
workstation is a 12 physical core machine so I am looking for a way to
utilise these resources to increase the otherwise very slow data post
processing.
