TACC Institutes Registration Window Now Open
Join us at TACC to learn new skills and meet fellow researchers. TACC provides training for all skill levels, introductory to advanced. Learning opportunities include multi-day institutes, as well as in-person and online courses to meet the needs of researchers from around the world. We also make key sessions available on TACC's YouTube channel.
Stay up to date on upcoming training, TACC Institutes, and learning opportunities with the TACC Training Newsletter.
TACC Training Basics – A collection of brief step-by-step videos on a variety of training topics.
SPARC trains early-stage natural hazards researchers to run end-to-end computational workflows on DesignSafe. Each participant will work through the same set of hands-on workflows with experts from DesignSafe, SimCenter, RAPID, and TACC, building skills to apply to their own research.
This workshop will be an introduction to the basic utilization of a Linux based operating system on TACC's high performance computing systems.
Whether you're just interested in using TACC systems, a new user getting started on TACC systems, or a returning user that simply needs a refresher, this course is for you. This course will cover everything you need to know from obtaining your first allocation to running your jobs on TACC HPC systems.
A meeting of scientists, engineers, scholars, and students from across the state of Texas who use, and would like to use, the Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) to advance their research goals.
PETSc provides a framework for the development of computational science codes. Its focus is on solving linear and nonlinear systems, but it is more than a collection of algorithms: it is a complete toolkit supporting parallel data structures, linear algebra, PDEs, meshes.
The PyLauncher is a python-based parametric job launcher, that is, a utility for executing many small jobs in parallel.
Watch a demonstration of the proper use of the Slurm Workload Manager on TACC systems in this quick tutorial.
TACCster Remy Scott demonstrates how to SSH.
At TACC ML Institute, we will walk you through the basics, state-the-of-art methods, modern tools, and hands-on exercises of machine learning and deep learning at supercomputer scale.
A dual boot camp focused on immersing you into the research life cycle, where you'll solve a computational scientific model, iteratively. Generate data, verify and validate the data, update the model, revisit the data... repeat until the model accurately predicts a real-life phenomenon. This is the research life cycle. Part training, part code-a-thon, part hackathon.
The tutorial will help new users to get started with data-driven analysis on supercomputers.
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.
👤 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Opportunities to network with TACC research staff and other attendees.
Attendees to TACC Institutes will receive a certificate of attendance with their name, the title of the institute and the dates of the program.
The cost of Institutes includes the use of TACC resources, in-person access to experts, and lunch/snacks. Pricing varies for Academic, STAR, and Industry partners.
