Core Portal
The Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) provides powerful and intuitive web interfaces that remove technological hurdles.
The Advanced Computing Interfaces (ACI) team at the Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) has developed the Core Portal - an out-of-the-box science gateway framework designed to enhance the scalability and reproducibility of science gateways.
It enables real-time collaboration, data management, packaging of research software applications, and job execution on federated HPC resources - all accessible from any authenticated system connected to the TACC network. Core provides researchers, scientists, and the broader research community with a unified, user-friendly interface for accessing shared data, workflows, software, and computing services.
The portal's main features include:
- Data Management
- Upload from your device or cloud storage
- Preview many data formats
- Download anywhere
- Share with collaborators and reviewers
- Computation
- Queue HPC Jobs
- Execute on some of the most powerful systems in the world
Documentation
Getting Started
If you are a new TACC user, this page will guide you through the process of setting up an account for use with this Portal. If you are an existing user that already has an active allocation and multi-factor authentication with the TACC Token App on your account, then you are ready to use this portal.
Data Transfer and Management Guide
Transferring Portal data from your local machine to one of TACC's remote storage systems can be accomplished using two methods: command line tools (scp, sftp, rsync) and graphical user interface (Cyberduck).
Globus Data Transfer Guide
Globus supplies high speed, reliable, asynchronous transfers to the portal. Globus is fast, for large volumes of data, as it uses multiple network sockets simultaneously to transfer data. It is reliable for large numbers of directories and files, as it can automatically fail and restart itself, and will only notify you when the transfers are completed successfully.
