ParaView MPI

[simplyvish (Vishal)]

Hi, I’m new to ParaView and getting started with it. On the download page I see 2 links:

• ParaView-5.10.0-RC1-Windows-Python3.9-msvc2017-AMD64.zip
• ParaView-5.10.0-RC1-MPI-Windows-Python3.9-msvc2017-AMD64.zip

So, my question is that what is the difference in both version. What’s there in MPI and as a beginner to it with which version should I start.

So, my question is that what is the difference in both version.

MPI version allows users to perform distributed processing of the data, definitelly not recommended for a beginner. go with the non-mpi version.
