[[https://www.paraview.org/|ParaView]] is a professional-quality, open-source application designed to analyze extremely large datasets using distributed memory computing resources. 
  
 The workshop is designed to take users from basic desktop interaction to advanced high-performance computing (HPC) environments. We will begin with a foundational introduction to ParaView's interface and logic before moving into the specifics of leveraging KAUST's supercomputing clusters. The workshop is designed to take users from basic desktop interaction to advanced high-performance computing (HPC) environments.

-Key Learning Objectives:+**Key Learning Objectives:** 
 +  * **ParaView Core:** Master the pipeline browser, properties, and essential filters. 
 +  * **HPC Workflows:** Establish remote client-server connections to **Ibex** and **Shaheen**. 
 +  * **Automation:** Use Python scripting to record and execute non-interactive visualization tasks. 
 +  * **Efficiency:** Learn to scale from your local workstation to thousands of cores for large-scale data analysis.
  
-ParaView Core: Master the pipeline browser, properties, and essential filters. 
  
-HPC Workflows: Establish remote client-server connections to Ibex and Shaheen.+===== Who Should Attend? =====
  
-Automation: Use Python scripting to record and execute non-interactive visualization tasks.+KAUST researchers, engineers, and students who have outgrown their local workstation capabilities and need to learn how to script and scale their visualizations on Ibex and Shaheen. This is also applicable to those outside of KAUST who want to learn the concepts of ParaView on HPC to apply to their own clusters.
