Advanced Techniques for Visualization of Very Large Datasets
Speaker:
Alex Razoumov, WestGrid Training & Visualization Coordinator, Compute Canada
Workshop Description:
In this full-day workshop, I will teach visualization of very large datasets on remote HPC clusters. Topics covered include:
running ParaView in client-server mode
running batch rendering jobs
recommendations on running on cluster GPUs vs multiple CPUs
handling and loading of multi-GB datasets
writing and debugging of ParaView Python scripts
I will also cover some advanced animation techniques that could be used with both remote and desktop rendering.
This workshop is intended to be Part 1 of advanced ParaView training. In a future session, I will present Part 2, which will study ParaView Cinema and in-situ visualization with Catalyst.
Session Requirements:
This workshop will feature interactive hands-on exercises, so you will need to bring a laptop and power cord you can use during the session.
You must have a Compute Canada account to participate in the exercises and log in into the Cedar and Graham computing clusters. You can register for free a Compute Canada account here: https://ccdb.computecanada.ca/account_application
Prior to the event, please install ParaView 5.3.x (where 'x' could be anything) on the laptop you will be using for the session. To install ParaView, click here to visit the ParaView website and choose v5.3 from the 'Version' drop-down menu on that page (located under 'Get the software').
Other Notes:
Extensive experience with ParaView is not required. Some prior knowledge of ParaView's GUI will be assumed, however, I will start slowly and adjust the content and pace of the session according to the audience's ParaView experience level.
If you have questions or would like more information, please contact alex.razoumov@westgrid.ca.
