User documentation

Running ParaView with OpenGL acceleration

To run ParaView with OpenGL accelleration, it should be started via vglrun -d egl0.

This version of ParaView is mostly offered for power users for whom the configuration in the LUMI web interface is not sufficient. The EasyBuild recipe can be a starting point for further customisations.

The compilation time for ParaView is very long. It can easily take two hours on busy login nodes...

User-installable modules (and EasyConfigs)

Install with the EasyBuild-user module: 

eb <easyconfig> -r
To access module help after installation and get reminded for which stacks and partitions the module is installed, use module spider ParaView/<version>.

Technical documentation

EasyBuild

Version 5.10.1 for CPE 22.08

Created from scratch for LUMI. Some remarks about the build configuration:

  • Need CMAKE_SHARED_LINKER_FLAGS=-lpthread to prevent build failure of protobuf
  • Built with FFmpeg support as it's available in the central software stack. However, the build fails due to API changes in version 5.x of FFmpeg. Created a patch based of this VTK pull request.

Version 5.13.3 for cpeGNU/24.03

  • This is an entirely new development in the LUMI-D software stack.

Archived EasyConfigs

The EasyConfigs below are additional easyconfigs that are not directly available on the system for installation. Users are advised to use the newer ones and these archived ones are unsupported. They are still provided as a source of information should you need this, e.g., to understand the configuration that was used for earlier work on the system.
