Integrating Supercomputing-Powered Instruction, Research, and Entrepreneurship (InSPIRE) 2026 Workshop

This workshop is designed for computational-focused STEM faculty at both undergraduate and graduate levels. Participants will learn how to access and apply supercomputing systems to enhance research and instruction, examine real-world uses of high-performance computing in undergraduate education, and integrate supercomputing into curricula through structured modules and assignments. The session will also guide on securing NSF funding for advanced computing infrastructure and introduce tools to support students' onboarding and project-based learning in supercomputing environments.

TACC Institute Series

The TACC Institute series is designed to help researchers further their science through applied computational techniques. Our goal is to broaden the number of people who use advanced computing; whether it’s for research, industry, or as a facilitator, there is an institute designed with you in mind.

Institutes are held on site at the Texas Advanced Computing Center and are in-person only. Meals provided. Detailed agendas will be posted when dates are set and registration opens.

Applied Parallel Programming Workshop

👤 In-Person

TACC's HPC training includes parallel computing, CUDA programming, MPI (beginner and intermediate), MPI with containers, and other HPC tools as well as hands-on labs using TACC resources.

Curating Large Scale Research Data: Concepts and Action

Attend In-Person

Learn about curation of large-scale complex data-from geospatial and imaging to simulations and AI outputs. Through hands-on activities, tours of HPC storage systems, and real-world case studies, you'll learn data modeling, quality control, semantic search, AI-ready metadata, and impact measurement to make datasets discoverable, reusable, and future-proof. Participants need to have data curation experience, as this program touches on advanced curation topics.

HPC Leadership

Attend In-Person

The High Performance Computing (HPC) Leadership Institute is specifically tailored to managers and decision makers who are using, or considering using, HPC within their organizations. It is also applicable to those with a real opportunity to make this career step in the near future. Topics covered will include procurement considerations, pricing and capital expenditures, operating expenditures, and cost/benefit analysis of adding HPC to a company's or institution's R&D portfolio. A broad scope of HPC is covered from department scale clusters to the largest supercomputers, modeling and simulation to non-traditional use cases, and more. We encourage attendees from all backgrounds, including non-technical, to attend.

Information-Integrated Decision Support

Attend In-Person

Master systematic approaches for building end-to-end decision support systems that integrate multiple information sources — scientific research, sensor data, physics-based models, and stakeholder knowledge — to tackle wicked problems with no clear solutions. Led by TACC's Decision Support Office team of interdisciplinary researchers specializing in stakeholder-engaged computational modeling and intelligent decision support systems, this hands-on institute teaches the complete pipeline from problem framing through solution deployment.

Machine Learning Institute

Attend In-Person

Join us for an in-person deep dive into machine learning. Taught by TACC’s Data Intensive Computing group, this course covers everything from the basics to advanced techniques with hands-on exercises in machine learning and deep learning using TACC’s powerful supercomputing systems.

Ideal for researchers as well as industry professionals, this training is designed to teach how you can apply machine learning algorithms to your projects.

Throughout the course, you'll explore the core functions and principles which drive machine learning so you can understand how these tools actually work and see the difference between surface-level buzzwords and true comprehension.

What to Expect

Instruction on the latest tools, topics, and trends in advanced computing.

Hands-on experiences and guided exercises.

Presentations on the application of advanced computing technologies from TACC researchers, users, and partners.
