Transparency appears to hang
We have a slowdown that is occuring with rendering large datasets that is so bad it appears as a hang. I think I replicated with Wavelet, but will give both ways to replicate. Note user's dataset is about 60 million cells and around a thousand files.
• ParaView 5.4.1. 4 nodes, 16 cores/node. Linux.
• View/ Memory Inspector.
• Load /.../fullV27_41.e.1440.*. Turn on mesh_displacement and velocity.
• Slice filter. Y Normal. Apply.
• Paint by velocity.
• Opacity to 0.5
• Unselect Show Plane
• >> It hung right here.
• With 8 nodes, I believe I have to go further, as follows:
• Change focus in pipeline browser to reader. • Slice filter. Y Normal. Apply
I believe I have replicated this “hang” with wavelet, although it does eventually come back. Here is how to replicate. • ParaView 5.4.1. 4 nodes, 16 cores/node on Chama. Linux. • View/ Memory Inspector. (This pushes memory, but does work.) • Wavelet. -1000 to 1000, -1000 to 1000, -1000 to 1000. Apply. • Contour. Advanced. Remove the one contour. Auto generate 10. Apply. • Surface. • Change Opacity to 0.5
ParaView will take a few minutes to return.
Here are the important sections of the Timer Log.
