Ridgecrest Earthquakes Shake Southern CaliforniaResponding to the recent earthquakes in Southern California — a magnitude 6.4 on July 4 and a magnitude 7.1 on July 5 — natural hazards engineers and other researchers who are part of the National Science Foundation (NSF) Natural Hazards Engineering Research Infrastructure (NHERI) network jumped into action. Research teams are sharing and publishing data and assessment reports using NSF-NHERI's DesignSafe cyberinfrastructure, which was developed and is powered by TACC. | ||||
 Carlos Redondo (left) and Ritu Arora (right) developed BOINC@TACC. | For the Love of ScienceYou don't have to be a scientist to contribute to research projects in biomedicine, physics, astronomy, artificial intelligence, or earth sciences. Using specialized, open-source software from the Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing project (BOINC), hundreds of thousands of home and work computers are being voluntarily used for the pursuit of science. TACC started its own project in 2017 — BOINC@TACC — to allow the public to help solve science problems. It's the first use of volunteer computing by a leading HPC center. | |||
 High school students participating in the Code@TACC Connected summer camp. | Code@TACC 2019 Connected Summer CampRising 11th and 12th grade students skipped the beach to spend a week at the Code@TACC Connected summer camp, which took place this month. Code@TACC Connected is an innovative, exciting program where coding meets communities. Students created solutions to socially relevant problems using cloud-connected networked sensors. | |||
 The Comet supercomputer at the San Diego Supercomputer Center (left) and the Stampede2 supercomputer at TACC (right). | Using Machine Learning to Analyze Key Capacitor MaterialsScientists at Georgia Tech are using machine learning with supercomputers to find ways to build more capable capacitors. Supercomputers analyzed the electronic structure of materials, simulated on Stampede2 at TACC and Comet at SDSC. Improved capacitors could play a major role in powering future machines, from electric cars to cell phones. | |||
 | Annual TACCSTER Meeting 2019Registration is open for the TACC Symposium for Texas Researchers (TACCSTER) meeting this September 26-27. Participate in discussions, learn new skills, and network with other Texas-based computational researchers. | |||
 Welcome to TACC, Alyssa Cantu!Alyssa Cantu recently joined TACC's Life Sciences Computing - Research Acceleration group after graduating from Brown University with a degree in Computational Biology. She has experience in biomedical informatics, human genetics, and has prior research experience at the Mayo Clinic. Alyssa is working to mobilize researchers across the UT System to use TACC resources. |  TACC Wants to Hear from You!TACC supports researchers, educators, and students across the country.
