Use mutli_ucd3d.silo (it is a mult-block dataset) and produce Mesh plot, combined with Pseudocolor plot of any variable. Open up the Compute Engines dialog and watch what its doing in parallel. How many parallel tasks is it running?

Is this locally on your macOS system or remotely on LLNL CZ systems?

To confirm, go to File`->Compute engines... and see what it shows as the Processors count as in below...
