outparvox


NAME

    outparvox - The output program for ParVox renderer; it is not a standalone program and has to run together with netparvox_pipe and inparvox (or netparvox_pipe_ug and inparvox_ug).

SYNOPSIS

outparvox

DESCRIPTION

    outparvox is the output programs for ParVox renderer; it is not a standalone program and has to run together with netparvox_pipe and inparvox (or netparvox_pipe_ug and inparvox_ug for unstructured grid). Outparvox supports several different devices, including x window display, file output, and wavelet compression. It implments a parallel wavelet compression algorithm that requires at least 3 processors to run.

Unlike inparvox and netparvox, there is only one outparvox program that supports both regular structured grid and unstructured grid datasets.

To run outparvox together with netparvox and inparvox on SGI machines, you have to prepare a file, say mpi.file including the following lines:

-np n1 netparvox_pipe :
-np n2 outparvox :
-np n3 inparvox

then run

% mpirun -f mpi.file
The above command will start netparvox_pipe on n1 processors, outparvox on n2 processors, and inparvox on n3 processors. Note you have to run outparvox on at least 3 processors.
