High Performance Computing

Name	Description	Funding Source	Contact
amask	The amask tool exposes process masks (affinity) of an application within a parallel environment, so that users can determine the cores/hardware-threads where each process is allowed to run.	NSF Award 1134872	Kent Milfeld milfeld@tacc.utexas.edu
ICAT	ICAT assists users in modifying, compiling, and optimally running their applications on HPC platforms equipped with the Intel Knights Landing (KNL) processors.	NSF Award #1642396 NSF Award #1359304	Lars Koesterke lars@tacc.utexas.edu
idev	Idev creates an Interactive DEVelopment environment on a compute node from the user's login window.	NSF Award 1134872	Kent Milfeld milfeld@tacc.utexas.edu
The Launcher	The launcher is a framework for running large collections of serial or multi-threaded applications, known as High Throughput Computing (HTC), as a single multi-node parallel job on batch-scheduled High Performance Computing (HPC) systems.		John Fonner jfonner@tacc.utexas.edu
Lmod	A Lua based module system that easily handles the MODULEPATH Hierarchical problem.	NSF	Robert McLay mclay@tacc.utexas.edu
pylauncher	The pylauncher is a customizable launcher utility that provides base classes and routines that take care of most common tasks		Victor Eijkhout eijkhout@tacc.utexas.edu
Remora	REMORA (REsource MOnitoring for Remote Applications) provides a simple interface to gather important system utilization data while running on HPC systems.	N/A	Si Liu siliu@tacc.utexas.edu
Sanity Tool	Sanity Tool includes a group of generic and machine-specific tests that are used to evaluate the correctness of a user's account configurations.	N/A	Robert McLay mclay@tacc.utexas.edu
Shell Startup Debug	Shell Startup Debug is used to trace the behavior of the startup scripts on your system.	N/A	Robert McLay mclay@tacc.utexas.edu
Showq/Showres/qlimits	The main purpose of this project is to provide convenient tools for HPC users and administrators with easy-to-use SLURM interface or commands.	N/A	Si Liu siliu@tacc.utexas.edu
TACC Stats	An infrastructure for the low-overhead collection of system-wide performance data that integrates information from a variety of sources.	NSF ACI-1203560	Bill Barth bbarth@tacc.utexas.edu
XALT	A tool that allows supercomputer support staff to collect and understand job-level information about the libraries and executables that end-users access during their jobs.	NSF ACI-1339690	Robert McLay mclay@tacc.utexas.edu

Visualization

Name	Description	Funding Source	Contact
Display Cluster	DisplayCluster is a software environment for interactively driving large-scale tiled displays. The software allows users to interactively view media such as high-resolution imagery and video, as well as stream content from remote sources such as laptops / desktops or high-performance remote visualization machines.		Gregory D. Abram gda@tacc.utexas.edu
GraviT	Two-pronged approach: GraviT will replace the OpenGL pathways commonly used for visualization with a high-performance, open-source ray tracing engine that can interactively render on both a CPU and on accelerator architectures; GraviT will provide a direct interface to a high-performance distributed ray tracing engine.	Collaborative Research: SI2-SSI TACC and ParaTools - ACI-1339863 Oregon - ACI-1339840 Utah - ACI-1339881	Paul A. Navrátil pnav@tacc.utexas.edu
Massive Pixel Environment (MPE)	MPE is a library for extending Processing sketches to multi-node tiled displays. This library makes it possible to render interactive Processing sketches across distributed computing systems on many displays.	National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH)	Heri Nieto hnieto@tacc.utexas.edu
SpRay	A distributed-memory speculative ray tracer for out-of-core and in situ rendering		Paul Navrátil pnav@tacc.utexas.edu
Texas Pandemic Flu Toolkit	The Texas Pandemic Flu Toolkit is a collection of tools for forecasting and simulating flu pandemics, as well as optimizing health resources across the state. These tools are made available via a web-based interface, where users can compute new models and interactively visualize results using a variety of methods.	Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS)	Paul A. Navrátil pnav@tacc.utexas.edu

Cloud Computing

Name	Description	Funding Source	Contact
Abaco	Abaco (Actor Based Containers) is a functions-as-a-service platform based on Linux container technology and the actor model for concurrent computation.	NSF Award SI2-SSI 1740288	Joe Stubbs jstubbs@tacc.utexas.edu
Tapis	The Tapis Framework provides a hosted, unified web-based API for securely managing computational workloads across institutions so that experts can focus on their research instead of the technology needed to accomplish it.	NSF Awards #1931439 and #1931575	Joe Stubbs jstubbs@tacc.utexas.edu
