Frontera opens up new possibilities in science and engineering, enabling researchers to tackle much larger and more complex challenges.
Frontera is one of the most powerful supercomputers in the world, and the fastest supercomputer on a university campus. Hundreds of U.S. scientists and engineers use Frontera each year to power discoveries across a wide range of scientific domains, from the quantum to the cosmic scale. Frontera is funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and serves as the leadership-class system in NSF’s cyberinfrastructure ecosystem.

The User Meeting will be held in person on August 4-5, 2022 at the Texas Advanced Computing Center in Austin, Texas. The meeting will feature session and lightning talks from Frontera users, roadmap sessions from project staff about Frontera and the Leadership-Class Computing Facilities (LCCF) project, and feedback panels for users to provide input to the project.
Learn best practices for writing a strong allocation proposal Frontera, including guidance for the Code Performance and Scaling.
Materials covered included introductory and advanced topics in OpenMP and MPI, hybrid computing, and the interplay between OpenMP and MPI within a single code. We also discussed profiling, debugging, and parallel I/O.
