[Paraview] Reading files in Parallel with ParaView

[Steytler, Louis Louw]

Hi All,

What is the best way to read a large dataset? I am performing parallel computations, so the mesh is broken into multiple smaller pieces, but it is also possible to re-assemble these pieces into one large piece in a post-processing step.

The results could also be stored in multiple files corresponding to different time steps, or in one big file containing all the time steps. So it is possible to decompose in space and/or time.

Does ParaView read data in parallel regardless of whether the file is decomposed in space and/or time? Would it be faster to read decomposed files vs. reading one large file?

Any ideas?

Thanks very much,
