Supersized Science Podcast on Horizon Supercomputer CSA Program with Dan Stanzione, TACC (AUDIO)
Caption
Supersized Science features research and discoveries nationwide enabled by advanced computing technology and expertise at the Texas Advanced Computing Center of the University of Texas at Austin.
Big challenges demand bold solutions.
In 2026, U.S. scientists will gain a new powerhouse for discovery: Horizon, the largest open science supercomputer in the nation. Horizon will accelerate basic research that drives innovation, fuels new industries, and strengthens the U.S. economy while probing the universe’s greatest mysteries.
Thanks to the National Science Foundation’s support for basic and transformative research, TACC began building the U.S. NSF Leadership-Class Computing Facility in 2024. This cutting-edge facility represents the next leap in large-scale computing to tackle the most demanding scientific problems in the nation’s research portfolio during the next decade.
The LCCF’s design is being shaped from the ground up by science itself.
At its core is the Characteristic Science Applications (CSA) program — 11 cutting-edge software projects built to tackle critical challenges that will define the facility’s success.
Joining host and TACC science writer Jorge Salazar on the podcast to discuss the Characteristic Science Applications program is Dan Stanzione, NSF LCCF principal investigator and the executive director of the Texas Advanced Computing Center.
