On XSEDE, what is Longhorn (TACC)?

On the Extreme Science and Engineering Discovery Environment (XSEDE), Longhorn (tg-login.longhorn.tacc.teragrid.org) is the Dell/NVIDIA visualization and data analysis cluster at Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC).

Longhorn is an ideal companion resource for working with large data sets created on Ranger (TACC), because Longhorn can directly access Ranger's Lustre parallel file system through a 10 GigE network link.

A web-based interface, the Longhorn Visualization Portal, is also available to Longhorn users.

For system specifications and user documentation, see the Longhorn user guide.
