Requesting an Account

HPC accounts are provisioned on a per-cluster basis and granted with the permission of their principal investigator. Accounts that are provisioned under each PI will have access to that PI's purchased resources and their own separate home directory.

Access to HPC clusters is granted via the use of SSH keys. An SSH public key is required to generate an account. For information on creating SSH keys, please visit the access documentation page.

The High-Performance Personnel Onboarding (HiPPO) portal can provision resources for the Farm, Franklin, and Peloton HPC clusters. Users can request an account on HiPPO by logging in with UC Davis CAS and selecting their PI.
