[Paraview] Tiled Display

[Mathieu Westphal]

Hello

pvserver is an MPI application ( considering it was compiled with it, which
is the case for default binaries )
You should document yourself on the ways to run mpi program on mutliple
computer with the mpi implementation you are using

With openmpi it would be something like that
mpirun -machinefile path/to/your/machine/file -np 4 ./pvserver

you machine file should like this :

	//machinefile:
	hostnameA
	hostnameB

and each machine must be accessible via ssh.

Once again, it is nothing specific to ParaView, but to MPI.

Regards,



Mathieu Westphal
