Prerequisites
There are a few things you must have in place before you can use ARCC High-Performance Computing or Research Data Storage core services. They are:
Be a UWYO Faculty Member or be sponsored by one
Have an active UWYO account
Enrolled in Two-Factor Authentication
Internet Access
UWyo Faculty Sponsorship
For UWYO faculty members can sponsor their own HPC projects or Storage Allocations, while students, post-doctoral researchers, or research staff must use a UWyo faculty member as their Principal Investigator, or PI, as their sponsor.
This is because there must be an on-campus contact to be responsible for these projects, and if we are doing a job as a university, students will graduate and post-docs will get jobs and won’t be able to serve as long-term contacts.
An Active UWyo Account
ARCC resources are reserved for current UWYO Faculty, Students, and staff who do research for the University. Therefore an active UWyo account is required to be eligible to use our resources.

An External collaborator is issued by UWIT and costs $10 as a one-time setup fee. Once the account is created then the Faculty PI can request the Collaborator to be added to their Teton project or petaLibrary allocation. You can request an External Collaborator account.
It’s important to know that ARCC does not manage UWyo accounts, we rely on UWIT to manage these. If your UWyo account is locked out or having issues, ARCC is unable to fix problems. If you encounter problems, please contact UWIT for help.
Enrolled in Two-Factor Authentication
Two-factor authentication, or 2FA, strengthens access security by requiring two methods to verify your identity. These methods can include something you know -- like a username and password, plus something you have -- like a smartphone app, a token, or a phone number to approve authentication requests.

Enroll with the Duo mobile app. It’s the easiest to use and makes sense to many users who use their smartphones or tablet on a daily basis.
Purchase a YubiKey. This is a small USB device that you can press to generate your second factor. It costs $50 and can be purchased from UWIT.
The minimum thing required for the two-factor is a phone number. You can enroll any landline with Duo to get your second factor like a phone call. The link to do that is the same as option 1.
Internet Access
About that accessibility, ARCC resources are generally available on the Internet. Meaning, if you have internet access and the three prior prerequisites you can theoretically use ARCC resources from anywhere in the world.
