Goals: Provide information for how to ask for help, and how to get started with ARCC HPC Resources

How to Get Help

• Service Portal and arcchelp@uwyo.edu

• Zoom Office Hours.

• When requesting help:

  • Be as clear and specific as you can.

  • Provide enough detail so we can replicate your issue.

  • Provide job ids, log files, working folder paths…

  • Software and module versions.

  • Links to your software homepage/repo and what you’ve tried.

  • Have you consulted online communities?

  • When using other people’s code: try and understand what it is doing before asking for help.

• We’ll always do our best effort, but we’re not domain experts (supporting all researchers).
