Supported Software#

KVL supports the use of ParaView and VisIt on KAUST computing resources. We facilitate the installation of new versions on both Ibex and Shaheen. Each of these softwares and their use of KSL resources are described in depth in their respective sections below.

To find out the currently supported versions of ParaView and VisIt, simply use module avail:
