recommended tests/examples to validate HPC installation, especially rendering

ParaView Support

Hi,

I want to run some ParaView and Catalyst2 tests and examples to validate a ParaView installation on a cluster*. In particular I want to test rendering.

What would you all recommend?

Thanks in advance for any advice!

Hi dave,

Starting in paraview 5.10, you can use the HPC benchmarks and validation suite.

pvpython -m paraview.tests -o /tmp/resultsdir

Unfortunately, pvpython fails with the same error message:

$ pvpython -m paraview.tests -o /tmp/resultsdir
Attempting to use an MPI routine before initializing MPICH
$ ll /tmp/resultsdir
ls: /tmp/resultsdir: No such file or directory
