UT Austin Leads NSF-funded Supercomputing Advancements

The University of Texas at Austin's Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) is leading the U.S. in scientific and engineering research with supercomputers like Frontera and the upcoming Stampede3, backed by a $60 million investment from the National Science Foundation (NSF). TACC is also spearheading the construction of the Leadership-Class Computing Facility (LCCF) with NSF, a $457 million project that will revolutionize computational research and development across various disciplines, including AI applications. This facility, set to launch in 2026, will feature the supercomputer Horizon, offering significant performance improvements over current systems, emphasizing collaboration with other universities and workforce development.
