The Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) has won the competition for the NSF’s latest leadership-class supercomputer. The machine is scheduled to be installed at the University of Texas at Austin in 2019 and is expected to be in operation for at least five years.
A dump truck's worth of plastic empties into the ocean every minute. Worldwide, humankind produces over 300 million tons of plastic each year, much of which is predicted to last centuries to millennia and pollutes both aquatic and terrestrial environments.
Chemists at the University of California, San Diego describe how they used supercomputing to design a sheet of proteins that toggle between different states of porosity and density.
Much remains unknown about the hazards the space environment will present to future space travelers. Recent simulations conducted by researchers from Texas A&M University, the University of Texas Medical Branch, and NASA at the Texas Advanced Computing Center (TAAC) have shed more light on the problem and demonstrated the value of modern HPC in assessing risk from cosmic radiation.
The Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) at The University of Texas at Austin is partnering with the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory (LDEO) at Columbia University to host one of the largest data collections for Earth sciences of its type in the country.
The Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) at The University of Texas at Austin today announced that it has partnered with the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) to provide researchers with access to advanced computing resources as part of an effort to develop novel computational approaches for complex manufacturing and design problems.
There’s a more than 40 percent chance that you will be diagnosed with cancer at some point in your lifetime, and a one in five chance that it will be terminal.
As Austin traffic continues to grow, the city has a unique tool at its disposal to find solutions to traffic woes: UT Austin’s Stampede 2 supercomputer.
This on-demand, light-triggered drug release method could transform medicine, especially the treatment of cancer. Clinicians are beginning to test plasmonic nanovesicles on head and neck tumors. They can also help efforts to study the nervous system in real-time and provide insights into how the brain works.
It's called Stampede2, a supercomputer put together by the University of Texas Advanced Computing Center with support from Dell EMC, Intel and Seagate, funded by the National Science Foundation.
The Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) at The University of Texas at Austin today announced a new partnership with the Dell Medical School’s Women’s Health research team to be spearheaded by Kelly Gaither.
At peak performance, Stampede2, the flagship supercomputer at UT Austin’s Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC), will be capable of performing 18 quadrillion operations per second (18 petaflops, in supercomputer lingo).
The Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) at The University of Texas at Austin has teamed up with Austin, Texas-based non-profit Children’s Optimal Health (COH) to provide the technical infrastructure needed to help solve issues in children’s health and education throughout Central Texas, including disease, mental health and adverse childhood experiences.
UT-Austin’s Texas Advanced Computing Center is rolling out a system upgrade this month that is expected to place its newest supercomputer among the 10 most powerful computing machines on the planet.

A whole new tongue – the language of computers – will be what separates the educated from the ignorant masses of tomorrow. Understanding how to write code for computers is already becoming one of the most highly prized skill sets anyone can have in the global economy.
For over a decade, the Texas Advanced Computing Center (known as TACC) at The University of Texas at Austin has served as a hub for natural hazard forecasting and response.
A team from Predictive Science Inc. (PSI), based in San Diego, working with Stampede2 at the Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC), Comet at the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC), and NASA’s Pleiades supercomputer have produced a stunning simulation of the event.
Harris, a professor in the Department of Neuroscience at the University of Texas at Austin, will use the funding to image and map connections between neurons in the brain, known as synapses, in microscopic detail. She also aims to gain a better understanding of the cell biology of the nervous systems, and to model synapse function.
