[Paraview] Rendering in parallel

[Jérémy Santina]

Good morning,

I am a novice user of Paraview and there are some aspects which I am not
familiar with. Here is one of the issues I am having :

I run Paraview in Client-Server mode, performing the data processing and
the rendering on the remote server, and I read a Tecplot Binary File (.plt)
composed of more than 30 millions of points. This take a lot of time. An
idea to speed up the calculation is to launch the server in parallel. I
know that many readers can not read in parallel (it is the case of
TecplotBinaryFileReader I think) so I don't expect any improvment in this
way.

But, examining the Timer Log, I noticed that it doesn't speed up the
rendering either. I tested many times displaying the points and both
experiment with parallelism and without gave the same results (about 40-50
sec). I don't understand why.

Do I misinterpret the Timer Log ? Is the time of rendering long enough to
conclude ? Do I have to set specific parameters to make it works ?

I thank you in advance for your help.

Jérémy
