What you need to do
All computing carried out on the ALCF systems is associated with a user account. You need to set up a user account to log onto the login servers and run jobs on allocated resources.
Note
You must have an active project allocation through a DD, INCITE, or ALCC award before requesting an account. If you haven't completed this step, please request an allocation here.
Users must establish an account before they can access ALCF systems.
Here’s what you’ll need to get started:
- Start by clicking here: Request an Account.
- Enter your email, legal and preferred names, and a unique username in the corresponding fields.
- Verify that your email address is correct and establish security questions.
- Select the project of which you are a member.
- Enter your work and shipping addresses and the name of your employer in the corresponding fields.
- Enter your citizenship information.
Note: Foreign nationals must provide their passport number, their USCIS documents, and a PDF of their CV. - Select a passcode option (physical or mobile token) and accept the terms of agreement.
Once your account request is approved by the project PI, the ALCF Accounts team will process your application. You will be notified via email if additional information is needed before your account is created.
