Batch visualization on Compute Canada clusters

In this webinar, we review some of the serial batch visualization workflows you can run on Compute Canada HPC clusters, starting from simple plotting tools (Matplotlib and Plotly), going to more capable 3D Python visualization libraries (YT) and standard general-purpose 3D visualization tools (ParaView and VisIt).

We share some simple scripts and show how to run them on a cluster's login node, inside an interactive job, and with a Slurm batch job. Finally, we show one or two parallel rendering examples.

We try to provide answers to some more common questions, such as:
how do you debug batch visualization scripts?
when do you want to switch from client-server to batch visualization?
should you render on cluster GPUs or CPUs?
how much computational resource(s) should you allocate to your rendering jobs?
