pvbatch in Slurm

I don’t think that’s the right takeaway here. Just to clarify:

First, determine which MPI implementations are provided by your HPC system.

If any MPI implementaiton that is listed here are available on your system i.e. it is compatible with MPICH ABI, then you’re golden. module load ... (or whatever is recommended on your system) the appropriate MPI implementation and then ensure you pass --system-mpi command line argument to pvbatch.

If not, you’ll need to build ParaView from source using the MPI implementation available.
