Help Required for OpenGL on HP-UX

[Manjunath Shastry]

I have an application which requires OpenGL support. I have installed the the following Software

HP-UX OpenGL Run Time Environment
OpenGL 1.1 Developers patch
OpenGL 1.1 Runtime patch
OpenGL 1.1 Run (PA2.0 only)

The System is HP P920 and the Monitor is HP P920 and the Graphics Card is HP-Visualize FXE.

The application crashes with a warning, OpenGL will pass all rendring commands through X Server.

Any further clues to solve the problem will be appreciated.

what is the h/w again ... ?

O/S ?

please run : /opt/grahics/OpenGL/demos/verify_install-32

any errors ?

what's the application,version,vendor and what's it's function ?

any errors to /var/dt/Xerrors ?

patch levels : I'd ensure the latest Xserver, opengl , pex,starbase patches etc are installed ....

what are you doing within the application to crash, is it reproduceable everytime ? and can you start the application at all without errors

what visual are you runing Pseudocolor or True ?

core file produced ? file core output ?

Hi,

Visualize FXe requires:
Workstation ACE for HP-UX ... Graphic Bundles

Maybe also Graphics Application Programming Interfaces (API):
Starbase Dev. Kit
HP PEX lib Dev. Kit
OpelGL Dev. Kit
OpenGL Runtime

To verify the installation you can run any of the texture-mapping programs in:
/opt/graphics/OpenGL/demos
/opt/graphics/PEX5/demos
/opt/graphics/Starbase/demos
with came with API.

Thank you for the response. My Original problem is solved. I installed

Starbase Dev. Kit ,
HP PEX lib Dev. Kit,
X Server Patches

and now the user is able to use his application, which is Altair 'S Hyper Mesh, however the application hogs the CPU. A look at the TOP output showed the application process utilizing almost 60% of the CPU.

The System is HP Work Station C3700 With 1 GB RAM, O/S HP-UX 11.0.

Looking forward to your inputs to solve this problem.

Manjunath.

since it's the application not the hpux o/s or api's that's now causing problems perhaps a visit to http://www.altair.com/cgi-bin/userreg_login.pl
and check the release notes maybe of some use ... I'd read them myself but they are passworded protected (need to be an altair customer) ... I'd be looking at the tricks & tips section ..fyi looked in the system requirements ... not much use 10.20 + 128 MB mem + disk space reuirements ... no mention of patches , kernel config parameters etc.

or perhaps an email to their support ?

Alternatively install glance and see if you can isolate why the application is utilising so much cpu .

Hi,

from my point of view 60% isn't bad.
I think HyperMesh is very calculating intensive and so the higher cpu utilizing the faster you get your results.

Thank you for all the help, I have disabled the Daemons which were not absolutely required. The ones related to NIS, NFS, BIND, etc. This has brought down the system processes considerably and my User is grudgingly happly.
