Providing resource information to users of a national computing center
Matthew R. Hanlon, Warren Smith, Stephen Mock · 2013
The Texas Advanced Computing Center provides a variety of high-end resources to local, state, national, and international computational scientists and engineers. Many of these users obtain information about these resources via the TACC User Portal, which is supported by an information gathering and distribution infrastructure. After a number of years of use, we had a need to improve our presentation mechanisms by both redesigning the user portal and adding mobile interfaces. To support this, we also needed to update our information infrastructure. This paper describes our new design, including the new mobile interfaces, and details the improvements it makes over the previous design.
