Usage
Set-up
We recomend users to run VisIt locally and connect to OSC clusters for data analysis. In this Client-Server Mode, users can visualize data stored on the clusters without download it.
Install VisIt locally
Download and install a binary distribution locally. The supported versions on OSC clusters are listed above. If you are using unmatched version, there might be a compatibility issue. During the installaion, you will be asked to pick a host profile from a list of computing centers. Please select Ohio Supercomuter Center (OSC) network to continue. Unfortunately, the existing OSC profile is outdated and is not compatible with the current batch scheduler. Please see the following section to get the up-to-date profles.
Update host profiles
Please download new OSC profiles: Owens and Pitzer and place them in $HOME/.visit/hosts if using macOS or Linux or <visit_installaion>\hosts if using Windows. After re-launching VisIt, you should see new profiles named OSC Owens and OSC Pitzer. In future, user can update profiles from Remote Profiles window. We will update the information when it is available.
