netparvox_pipe_ug

   Netparvox_pipe_ug is the ParVox renderer for unstructured grid. It interfaces with the GUI xmparvox over a Unix TCP socket. Netparvox_pipe_ug runs in pipeline mode together with inparvox_ug and outparvox_ug.

-server hostname

When specified, this option will cause netparvox to connect to xmparvox running on hostname. If this option is not specified, then netparvox will act as a server and wait for an incoming connection by xmparvox.

-port N

Specifies the port number to use to connect to xmparvox. If this is set, then xmparvox should also set this parameter. The default port is 6543.

-preload name from to step blk/pe

Preloads data before starting the connection. Name specifies the filename of the data to load, using the ``name####'' format for multiple timestep files, using one `#' for each fixed digit position. From, to, and step are the starting, stopping, and the interval of the file numbers to load.

To run netparvox_pipe_ug on SGI machines, you have to prepare a file, say mpi.file including the following lines:

-np n1 netparvox_pipe_ug :
-np n2 outparvox_ug :
-np n3 inparvox_ug

then run

% mpirun -f mpi.file

 

Netparvox_pipe_ug and xmparvox must be started in the proper order. The first process to start should not use the -server hostname option. The second process must then use the -server hostname to connect to the first process.
