TACC Training Highlights — Watch Now!
Introduction to PETSc with Victor Eijkhout
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.
Intro to the PyLauncher with Victor Eijkhout
The PyLauncher is a python-based parametric job launcher, that is, a utility for executing many small jobs in parallel.

Previous Training
Machine Learning Institute
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.
BootUp/ReBoot @ TACC Institute
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.
Machine Learning @ TACC
The tutorial will help new users to get started with data-driven analysis on supercomputers.
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.
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.
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.
