[Paraview] User trying to build with catalyst -- need guidance

[Cook, Rich]

Hello,
Another very specific question:
The instructions at http://www.paraview.org/Wiki/Build_Directions use cmake of course.  How is this going to work in building a library intended to run on the backend nodes of BG/Q machines?

Thanks.

Thanks, I’ll follow your approach of using the mailing list and asking specific questions.

My current question is this:  which of these should I download?

Since this is for a BG/Q machine, I believe I’m going to have to do a cross-compile.

Thanks

Hi Rich,

There may be a few who are willing to help out if you can provide some specific questions or issues you run into.

Have you looked through the documentation at http://www.paraview.org/in-situ/ ? I got Catalyst up and running in our code (not on a BG/Q but on different clusters) with the information in the documentation and by asking some specific questions here on the list. For me, the hardest part was converting our data into VTK data -- I did not have any exposure to VTK prior to taking the Catalyst leap. But it turned out to be (relatively) straight forward for what we are doing.

I will be happy to answer things I can and for things I can't, hopefully somebody else will jump in.

Tim

Hello,
We have not used catalyst here and I have a user that is interested in trying it out on our BG/Q machine with a huge code on hundreds of thousands of nodes.  ;-)
Is there a brave soul willing to hold our hands through this process?
Thanks.
