Onboarding to TACC¶
The Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) at UT Austin designs and operates some of the world’s most powerful computing resources. The center’s mission is to enable discoveries that advance science and society through the application of advanced computing technologies.
We will be using cloud resources at TACC as our development environment. We will access the cloud resources via our SSH clients and TACC account credentials, as well as through a visualization portal.
Attention
Everyone please apply for a TACC account now using this link. If you already have a TACC account, you can just use that. Send your TACC username to wallen [at] tacc [dot] utexas [dot] edu as soon as possible.
