Advanced Supercomputers Take on Storms with CERA at TACC

The 2024 Atlantic hurricane season caused hundreds of deaths, and more than $200 billion in damages. In efforts to protect lives and property, the The Texas Advanced Computing Center supercomputers, namely Frontera, Stampede3, and Lonestar6, were deployed to feed storm models and events into the CERA platform for state-of-the-art surge forecasting and emergency preparedness. TACC is exploring artificial intelligence and machine-learning techniques to even further accelerate predictions and refine simulation models.
