Announcements:
A new way to request service and/or help (10 October 2022)
Starting on 10 October, ARCC will be using a new portal for requesting services.
UWIT’s ticketing system will no longer be used for ARCC related requests.
arcc-help@uwyo.edu can still be used to request help or info from ARCC and will open a ticket in our ticketing system.
arcc-info@uwyo.edu will be temporarily redirected to arcc-help@uwyo.edu. arcc-info@uwyo.edu will be retired entirely in May 2023.
Upcoming major changes to ARCC services (19 September 2022)
ARCC’s computational services will be undergoing several changes that will affect users. Major changes of note are the retirement of the Teton HPC environment and replacement with Beartooth, and a change in how service is requested from ARCC. More details can be found here.
NWSC Allocations Available (19 April 2022)
Research allocations on Cheyenne, the NCAR Wyoming supercomputer, are available to UW researchers working in eligible research areas. A discussion of the types of allocations along with tips for preparing allocation requests, is available on the NWSC University Allocation page. The next deadline for large allocations will be in early Summer, expect to see the announcement in early May on the UW website: http://www.uwyo.edu/nwsc/allocations/
Here are the details for the next round of Large Allocation Requests for using NWSC:

ARCC is happy to assist you in preparing your proposal and get an early jump in benchmarking your codes and building a well-justified, competitive request. Reach out directly to arcc-help@uwyo.edu to start planning your submission.
ARCC Student Research Programmers
The University of Wyoming Advanced Research Computing Center (ARCC) is looking for enthusiastic students with outstanding work ethic to fill a range of paid and for-credit internship positions.
Students will participate in academic and industry work, depending on their area of study and available projects, such as biomedical computing, computational biology, geophysics, chemistry, statistics, big data management, machine learning, cluster management, and others.
Some background in programming is desirable, but students with strong knowledge of a domain science (biology, physics, chemistry) will be considered if programming experience is lacking.
Training in cluster computing and advanced programming will be provided. Both undergraduate and graduate level positions are available. Undergrads will be expected to work 10 hours per week, grads will be expected to work 20 hours per week, both with very competitive hourly salaries.
Come gain valuable skills to help you stand out of the crowd on the job market!
Contact lmainzer@uwyo.edu to submit your resumé and set up an appointment.
