The Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) at The University of Texas at Austin is the leading supercomputing center in the country. TACC delivers world-class and innovative systems, tools, software, and expertise to researchers who seek to make an impact in the world, and advance discovery across disciplines. Since 2001, TACC has provided access to a wide range of computational resources — from high performance computing and AI at scale, to storage and visualization — and offered staff expertise, thought leadership, support, training, and education and outreach.
TACC is also home to the U.S. National Science Foundation Leadership-Class Computing Facility (NSF LCCF), which is poised to revolutionize computational research and discovery. Our approach is people-centered, our funding ensures sustainability, and our staff are dedicated to making the power of computing available to all.
TACC's mission is to enable discoveries that advance science and society through the application of advanced computing technologies.
TACC strives to be an innovator in all aspects of technology. It is important to us that this technology serves not only researchers but also the community. TACC fosters a culture of innovation, passion, and fun. TACC staff members actively collaborate to investigate the latest technologies, team up for charities, and celebrate successes together — both during and after work. From building Stampede to running a 5K, we are a team first and foremost.
