VisIt 2.3 is now available, boasting new cumulative queries in selections, and new file readers for VelodyneCLE AMR, Nek5000, and some Cale formats.  Support for Xdmf has improved, and they’ve got some exciting new features for parallel users:

  • VisIt’s X launching and parallel GPU acceleration features have been rewritten to mesh better with modern cluster installations. See the wiki for more information.
  • VisIt can now start a remote compute engine through a gateway machine. This capability has been implemented by using ssh to login to the gateway machine and then using ssh to login to the remote machine from there. It can handle giving a password to the gateway machine, but not the remote machine. To enable launching a remote compute engine in this manner, enable the Use gateway toggle button and enter the name of the gateway machine in the text field next to it on the Host settings tab on the Host profiles window.

 

Looking forward to trying out the Gateway option, looks like it could solve lots of problems in my environment.
