The Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) designs and deploys the world's most powerful advanced computing technologies and innovative software solutions to enable researchers to answer complex questions. These are questions such as: where should we store vaccines in case of an epidemic outbreak? What is the likelihood of a hurricane forming? How do we create more viable, cost efficient energy sources? Every day, researchers rely on our computing experts and resources to help them gain insights and make discoveries that change the world. Mission: To enable discoveries that advance science and society through the application of advanced computing technologies. TACC's environment includes a comprehensive cyberinfrastructure ecosystem of leading-edge resources in high performance computing (HPC), visualization, data analysis, storage, archive, cloud, data-driven computing, connectivity, tools, APIs, algorithms, consulting, and software. In addition, our skilled experts work with thousands of researchers on more than 3,000 projects each year.
