Example Use

1. Start an interactive job and enter your node

   srun --partition=cpu-clx:test --ntasks-per-node=96 --pty bash

   If a lot of memory/RAM is needed, especially the following "fat" partitions are suitable:
   cpu-clx:large, cpu-clx:huge (see Slurm partition CPU CLX)
   cpu-genoa (see CPU Genoa partition)
   
   

2. Load (default) module on your (fat) node

   module load paraview

3. Start the Paraview server on your (fat) node

   mpirun -n $SLURM_TASKS_PER_NODE pvserver --server-port=12345

   Wait a few seconds till your Paraview server provides a connection.

   ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎

4. @local: Start a ssh tunnel on your preferred terminal to access the port of the node via a login node

   ssh -N -L 12345:cpu-clx####:12345 <user>@blogin.hlrn.de

   Leave this terminal window open to keep the tunnel running. Before setting up a ssh tunnel check if your standard ssh login works. If you are a windows user without a proper terminal we recommend MobaXterm.

5. @local: Start your ParaView client GUI and access your Paraview-Server at

   localhost:12345

   Please note: the first two version numbers of your local ParaView client have to be the same as the remote Paraview-Server. You can download various ParaView versions here. After calling "module load paraview" the version of the loaded module will be displayed.
