Getting Started

Get an HPC Account and be added to a project.

  1. Whether you’re a UWyo faculty member (Principle Investigator; PI), a researcher or a student, you’ll start by getting access to an HPC account request and creating or joining a project.

Logging into HPC

  1. Now you’re ready to connect/login to a cluster!

    1. Note: you need to not be connected to the UWguest wireless network.

    2. Login may be done through a number of different methods but most commonly will be performed through Command Line Interface. Learn how.

    3. Once in a command line interface, type in “ssh <username>@<clustername>.arcc.uwyo.edu” and press enter.

      1. For example: ssh arccuser@beartooth.arcc.uwyo.edu

        1. The first time you log in you will get a message saying the ‘authenticity of the host … can’t be established' and asking if you ‘are sure you want to continue?’.

        2. Enter ‘yes’.

      2. You will then see a Notice to Users and a Two-factor Authentication message, with your mobile device ready, enter your password and accept the Duo Mobile (2FA) challenge when it pops up.

  2. Once you are connected, a bunch of text will scroll by. This will vary depending on the cluster. On Beartooth, for example, there are usage rules, tips, and a summary of your storage utilization across all projects that you are part of.

    1. Note that when you are logged in, the command prompt will look something like this: [arccuser@btlog1 ~]$

      1. This shows your username and which login node you are currently utilizing. The login node (here, btlog1) can, and probably will, change from one session to the next.

      2. The “~” indicates that you are in your home folder on the storage system.
