High Performance Computing
| Name | Description | Funding Source | Contact |
|---|---|---|---|
| amask | The amask tool exposes process masks (affinity) of an application within a parallel environment, so that users can determine the cores/hardware-threads where each process is allowed to run. | NSF Award 1134872 | Kent Milfeld milfeld@tacc.utexas.edu |
| ICAT | ICAT assists users in modifying, compiling, and optimally running their applications on HPC platforms equipped with the Intel Knights Landing (KNL) processors. | NSF Award #1642396 NSF Award #1359304 |
Lars Koesterke lars@tacc.utexas.edu |
| idev | Idev creates an Interactive DEVelopment environment on a compute node from the user's login window. | NSF Award 1134872 | Kent Milfeld milfeld@tacc.utexas.edu |
| The Launcher | The launcher is a framework for running large collections of serial or multi-threaded applications, known as High Throughput Computing (HTC), as a single multi-node parallel job on batch-scheduled High Performance Computing (HPC) systems. | John Fonner jfonner@tacc.utexas.edu |
|
| Lmod | A Lua based module system that easily handles the MODULEPATH Hierarchical problem. | NSF | Robert McLay mclay@tacc.utexas.edu |
| pylauncher | The pylauncher is a customizable launcher utility that provides base classes and routines that take care of most common tasks | Victor Eijkhout eijkhout@tacc.utexas.edu |
|
| Remora | REMORA (REsource MOnitoring for Remote Applications) provides a simple interface to gather important system utilization data while running on HPC systems. | N/A | Si Liu siliu@tacc.utexas.edu |
| Sanity Tool | Sanity Tool includes a group of generic and machine-specific tests that are used to evaluate the correctness of a user's account configurations. | N/A | Robert McLay mclay@tacc.utexas.edu |
| Shell Startup Debug | Shell Startup Debug is used to trace the behavior of the startup scripts on your system. | N/A | Robert McLay mclay@tacc.utexas.edu |
| Showq/Showres/qlimits | The main purpose of this project is to provide convenient tools for HPC users and administrators with easy-to-use SLURM interface or commands. | N/A | Si Liu siliu@tacc.utexas.edu |
| TACC Stats | An infrastructure for the low-overhead collection of system-wide performance data that integrates information from a variety of sources. | NSF ACI-1203560 | Bill Barth bbarth@tacc.utexas.edu |
| XALT | A tool that allows supercomputer support staff to collect and understand job-level information about the libraries and executables that end-users access during their jobs. | NSF ACI-1339690 | Robert McLay mclay@tacc.utexas.edu |
Visualization
| Name | Description | Funding Source | Contact |
|---|---|---|---|
| Display Cluster | DisplayCluster is a software environment for interactively driving large-scale tiled displays. The software allows users to interactively view media such as high-resolution imagery and video, as well as stream content from remote sources such as laptops / desktops or high-performance remote visualization machines. | Gregory D. Abram gda@tacc.utexas.edu |
|
| GraviT | Two-pronged approach: GraviT will replace the OpenGL pathways commonly used for visualization with a high-performance, open-source ray tracing engine that can interactively render on both a CPU and on accelerator architectures; GraviT will provide a direct interface to a high-performance distributed ray tracing engine. | Collaborative Research: SI2-SSI TACC and ParaTools - ACI-1339863 Oregon - ACI-1339840 Utah - ACI-1339881 |
Paul A. Navrátil pnav@tacc.utexas.edu |
| Massive Pixel Environment (MPE) | MPE is a library for extending Processing sketches to multi-node tiled displays. This library makes it possible to render interactive Processing sketches across distributed computing systems on many displays. | National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) | Heri Nieto hnieto@tacc.utexas.edu |
| SpRay | A distributed-memory speculative ray tracer for out-of-core and in situ rendering | Paul Navrátil pnav@tacc.utexas.edu |
|
| Texas Pandemic Flu Toolkit | The Texas Pandemic Flu Toolkit is a collection of tools for forecasting and simulating flu pandemics, as well as optimizing health resources across the state. These tools are made available via a web-based interface, where users can compute new models and interactively visualize results using a variety of methods. | Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) | Paul A. Navrátil pnav@tacc.utexas.edu |
Cloud Computing
| Name | Description | Funding Source | Contact |
|---|---|---|---|
| Abaco | Abaco (Actor Based Containers) is a functions-as-a-service platform based on Linux container technology and the actor model for concurrent computation. | NSF Award SI2-SSI 1740288 | Joe Stubbs jstubbs@tacc.utexas.edu |
| Tapis | The Tapis Framework provides a hosted, unified web-based API for securely managing computational workloads across institutions so that experts can focus on their research instead of the technology needed to accomplish it. | NSF Awards #1931439 and #1931575 | Joe Stubbs jstubbs@tacc.utexas.edu |
