1. First, install on your laptop the same ParaView version as the one available on the cluster you will be using; log into Cedar or Graham and start a serial GPU interactive job. | 1.

'''NOTE:''' An important setting in ParaView's preferences is ''Render View -> Remote/Parallel Rendering Options -> Remote Render Threshold''. If you set it to default (20MB) or similar, small rendering will be done on your laptop's GPU, the rotation with a mouse will be fast, but anything modestly intensive (under 20MB) will be shipped to your laptop and—depending on your connection—visualization might be slow. If you set it to 0MB, all rendering will be remote including rotation, so you will be really using the cluster's GPU for everything, which is good for large data processing but not so good for interactivity. Experiment with the threshold to find a suitable value. | '''NOTE:''' An important setting in ParaView's preferences is ''Render View -> Remote/Parallel Rendering Options -> Remote Render Threshold''.

3. Make a note of the node (in this case cdr774) and the port (usually 11111) and in another terminal on your laptop (on Mac/Linux; in Windows use a terminal emulator) link the port 11111 on your laptop and the same port on the compute node (make sure to use the correct compute node). | 3.
