Please review the LC documentation regarding banks, allocations, and jobs. For more in-depth information, you can type man salloc or view the online Slurm documentation. To see a list of available options for this command simply type salloc -h or lalloc -h on the command line. # Requests 4 nodes for at least 2hrs 30min, charged to the "foo" account You can (and should) use the various option flags to specify details about the job such as the number of nodes, time limits, the partition of nodes to use, and the account(/bank) to charge. This is how you reserve one or more batch nodes to dedicate to your pvserver task(s). On an LC login node, use the appropriate command to request an interactive job allocation ( salloc for systems using Slurm, lalloc for LSF).

If the versions do not match, you should either load a different ParaView module on the cluster ( see our main ParaView page), or install a different version of ParaView on your desktop (multiple versions can exist simultaneously). On the cluster, you can run pvserver -V to retrieve the version information. If you aren't sure what version you are using, you can open the Help > About menu item within the ParaView application. Your desktop installation of ParaView should match the version you are running on the LC cluster. The instructions below will walk you through this setup. Because of the firewalls at LLNL, you will have to establish an SSH tunnel to carry the data from the "listening server" to the client on your desktop. The heavy lifting is done on batch nodes of an LC cluster. The client runs on your local desktop and uses your graphics card to display images quickly on your computer. The figure above shows a pictorial representation of ParaView as run in parallel at LLNL.
