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 registration opens.

HPC Leadership

👤 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.
