Overview
The Teton Compute Environment, or Teton for short, is a high performance computing (HPC) cluster with over 500 compute nodes that allow researchers to perform computation-intensive analysis on large datasets. Teton contains high performance data storage systems that have 1.2 PB of storage to accommodate some of the largest datasets. The Teton Compute Environment gives researchers the ability to have control over their data, projects, and collaborators. Teton can be securely accessed anywhere, anytime with 98% expected uptime and SSH connectivity using UWyo two-factor authentication.

Teton was preceded by UWyo’s first community HPC cluster, Mount Moran, which went into service in 2012. The second generation of HPC at UWyo, Teton, first went into service in 2018 and is available to all research interests at UWyo. With over 1.2 PB of storage, Teton can accommodate some of the largest datasets. Isolated filesystems ensure that researchers have control of where their data are, and who can access it.
Teton Filesystems
The Teton global filesystem has three main filesystems called home, project, and gscratch. The home area is for configuration files and software installations for each user, the project area is for collaboration among project members, and the gscratch area is for personal compute on larger datasets and is not backed up. Users with datasets on gscratch should remember to migrate them somewhere else once their computation is complete or risk losing all their data.
Project and Account Requests
For research projects, UWyo faculty members (Principal Investigators) can request a Project be created on Teton. PIs can then add access to the project for UWyo students, faculty, and external collaborators. User Accounts on Teton require a valid UWyo e-mail address and a UWyo-Affiliated PI sponsor. UWyo faculty members can sponsor their own accounts, while students, post-doctoral researchers, or research associates must use their PI as their sponsor. Non-UWyo external collaborators must be sponsored by a current UWyo faculty member.

To request access for instructional use, send an email to arcc-info@uwyo.edu with the course number, section, and student list. If the PI prefers generic accounts can be created instead of providing a student list. Instructional accounts are usually valid for a single semester and access to the project is terminated at the beginning of the next semester.
