  so I thought I might ask some questions on this mailing list.

  I have set up a two node cluster, each compute node has 4 cores

  To fully utilise all the cores in both nodes, is this the correct way to launch pvserver ?

```
/shared/ParaView-5.10.1-osmesa-MPI-Linux-Python3.9-x86_64/bin/mpiexec -hosts compute0,compute1 -np 8  /shared/ParaView-5.10.1-osmesa-MPI-Linux-Python3.9-x86_64/bin/pvserver
```

  If I change to `-np 4` would mpiexec use only compute0 or would it still run on both compute0 and compute1 but use only 2 cores of each node ?

Cheers
