The Teton Compute Environment, or Teton for short, is a high performance computing (HPC) cluster with over 500 compute nodes and a high performance data storage system.

Overview
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 can be securely accessed anywhere, anytime with 98% expected uptime and SSH connectivity using UWyo two-factor authentication. No matter where you go, your research can go with you
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.
Teton Access
For research projects, UWyo faculty members (Principal Investigators or PIs) can request a Project be created on Teton. User Accounts on Teton require a valid UWyo email 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.
Once access is granted, connection to Teton may be established via SSH. Note that SSH connection requires UWyo two-factor authentication.

Specialty Clusters
For those with very specific computing needs, ARCC is here to support you with the option of specialty clusters. If this is something you are interested in or would like to learn more, please contact ARCC or schedule an appointment to meet with ARCC staff.
