Powering Discoveries that Change the World

Welcome to the Texas Advanced Computing Center!

The Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) at The University of Texas at Austin is one of the leading centers of computational excellence in the United States. Since it began supporting researchers in 2001, TACC has expanded at a tremendous rate, both physically and computationally. From a staff of only 15, and one mid-level Cray supercomputer, TACC has grown to more than 150 staff and students, and multiple world-class advanced computing resources including Stampede2, Lonestar5, Hikari, Wrangler, Jetstream, Maverick, Stallion, Stockyard, Corral and Ranch.

The center's mission is to enable discoveries that advance science and society through the application of advanced computing technologies. To fulfill this mission, TACC identifies, evaluates, deploys, and supports powerful computing, visualization, and storage systems and software. TACC's staff experts help scientists and educators use these technologies effectively, and conduct research and development to make these technologies more powerful, more reliable, and easier to use. TACC staff also help encourage, educate, and train the next generation of researchers, empowering them to make discoveries that change the world.
