Eligibility and Access
While almost anyone with an ÃÛÌÒ½´ID and password can login to Coldfront, only certain user groups will have the ability to use the software and access the HPC clusters.
- Benefit-eligible employees and all faculty are allowed to create a project for individual or group research AND/OR sponsor a project for a course. We have built out the integration for courses so that all students enrolled in the course will be provisioned for the related project automatically. Once the project is created, there is a workflow that is initiated to review and allocate the appropriate cluster resources for each project.
- Students can interact with projects to which they have been assigned. If you are interested in a new personal project on the clusters, please reach out to the HPC team to discuss. (contact info?)
- Anyone with an ÃÛÌÒ½´ID can be associated with a sponsored project. The manager of the project is responsible for adding and removing users as needed.
Please Note: All new users must first agree to the Guidelines before access is granted to the clusters.
