6+
7+
[Follow this link to request HPC accounts](https://identity.it.nyu.edu/) ( NYU VPN is required ).
8+
9+
## Who is eligible for an NYU HPC account ?
10+
11+
NYU HPC clusters and related resources are available to full-time NYU faculty and to all other NYU staff and students with sponsorship from a full-time NYU faculty.
12+
13+
Please note:
14+
- All **sponsored accounts** will be created for a period of 12 months, at which point a renewal process is required to continue to use the clusters.
15+
- Faculty, students and staff from the **NYU School of Medicine** require the sponsorship of an eligible NYU faculty member to access the NYU HPC clusters.
16+
- Non-NYU Researchers who are collaborating with NYU researchers must obtain an affiliate status before applying for an NYU HPC account. Please see the section at the bottom of the page.
17+
18+
19+
## VPN
20+
21+
In order to request a new HPC account or renew an expired one, you need to be connected to the NYU VPN if you are working remotely. Please see [instructions on how to install and use the NYU VPN](https://www.nyu.edu/life/information-technology/infrastructure/network-services/vpn.html). Linux clients are not officially supported, however we were able to successfully use openVPN client. Here are installation and connection instructions for an apt-based linux distribution:
22+
23+
Install openconnect with :
24+
```sh
25+
apt-get install openconnect
26+
```
27+
28+
Then connect to NYU VPN as :
29+
```sh
30+
sudo openconnect -b vpn.nyu.edu
31+
```
32+
When prompted follow the instructions and provide your nnetID, password, and second password ( 'push' or 'sms' ).
33+
34+
35+
## Getting a new account on the NYU HPC clusters
36+
37+
To request an NYU HPC account please log in to [NYU Identity Management service](https://identity.it.nyu.edu/) and follow the link to “Request HPC account”. We have a walkthrough of how to [request an account through IIQ](https://sites.google.com/nyu.edu/nyu-hpc/accessing-hpc/getting-and-renewing-an-account/requesting-an-hpc-account-with-iiq?authuser=0). If you are a student, alumni or an external collaborator you need an NYU faculty sponsor.
38+
39+
## Renewing HPC account
40+
41+
Each year, non-faculty users must renew their HPC account by filling in the account renewal form from the [NYU Identity Management service](https://identity.it.nyu.edu/). See [Renewing your HPC account with IIQ](https://sites.google.com/nyu.edu/nyu-hpc/accessing-hpc/getting-and-renewing-an-account/renewing-your-hpc-account-with-iiq?authuser=0) for a walkthrough of the process.
42+
43+
## Information for faculty who sponsor HPC users
44+
45+
All full-time NYU faculty members (other than NYU Med School) are eligible to become sponsors, and in turn can sponsor:
46+
47+
- NYU Degree program students
48+
- Scholars visiting NYU
49+
- NYU Research staff
50+
- NYU School of Medicine faculty, staff and students
51+
- Other NYU staff/affiliates with a NetID
52+
- Non-NYU researchers with whom they are actively collaborating
53+
54+
If you need to sponsor an HPC account for an external collaborator (for example, for an NYU alumnus), please, request a "research affiliate" affiliation for your collaborator. You can find the instructions [here](https://www.nyu.edu/servicelink/KB0010299).
55+
56+
You can request a NetID for your student(s) or collaborator(s) [here](https://start.nyu.edu/). The request form has additional information about affiliates.
57+
58+
HPC faculty sponsors are expected to:
59+
- Approve/disapprove sponsored users' association with you
60+
- Approve/disapprove the purpose for which user is requesting an account on NYU HPC resources
61+
- Agree to supervise the sponsored individual, to the extent necessary, to ensure proper use of the NYU HPC resources and compliance with all applicable policies
62+
- Respond promptly to account-related requests from HPC staff
63+
64+
Each year, your sponsored users must renew their account. You will need to approve the renewal by logging into the [NYU Identity Management service](https://identity.it.nyu.edu/). [We have a walkthrough of the approval process, with screenshots](https://sites.google.com/nyu.edu/nyu-hpc/accessing-hpc/getting-and-renewing-an-account/how-to-approve-an-hpc-account-request?authuser=0).

## Getting an account with one of NYU partners
74+
75+
NYU partners ([look for the list here](https://sites.google.com/nyu.edu/nyu-hpc/about/collaborations?authuser=0)) with many state and national facilities with a variety of HPC systems and expertise. [Contact us](https://sites.google.com/nyu.edu/nyu-hpc/training-support/support?authuser=0) for assistance setting up a collaboration with any of these.
76+
77+
## Non-NYU Researchers
78+
79+
If you are part of collaboration with NYU researcher you need to obtain an **affiliate** status before applying for an NYU HPC account. A full-time NYU faculty member must sponsor a non-NYU collaborator for an affiliate status. Please see [instructions for affiliate management](https://nyu.service-now.com/sp?sys_kb_id=621146614050d5442a5dc4baadd48b32&id=kb_article_view&sysparm_rank=1&sysparm_tsqueryId=7d719c551b2820d0a54ffdd51a4bcb90) (NYU NetID login is required to follow the link). [Please read instructions about sponsoring external collaborators](https://sites.google.com/nyu.edu/nyu-hpc/accessing-hpc/getting-and-renewing-an-account/hpc-accounts-for-sponsored-external-collaborators?authuser=0).
