ABSTRACT
Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) was awarded the grant to build the first Stampede system in 2012 through the National Science Foundation “Equipment Acquisitions, Petascale — Track 1” program, and the system became available to users in January 2013. , Stampede 2 is the second system in the Stampede project. Many of TACC’s leading supercomputing systems have included an effort to evaluate new and potentially transformative technologies. TACC has also developed and integrated tools to support lights-out management, enabling remote power up/down operations, hardware sensor information, and remote console access to all servers in the system. TACC uses Simple linux utility for resource management for resource management and batch queuing of user jobs on Stampede 2 and all of its recent Linux-based systems. TACC’s cybersecurity program is designed to control the risk and magnitude of harm that could result from the loss, misuse, disclosure, or modification of TACC computers, or data stored on those computers.
