All persons using GACRC resources must meet the requirements described on the GACRC Policies page.

 

GACRC user accounts are managed as part of a "computing lab" group which is registered by a UGA principal investigator (PI) i.e. faculty member.  Users are typically post-docs and graduate students working under the direction of the PI.  The account creation process is twofold:

Computing Lab Registration
A UGA faculty member may request a computing lab with us by providing the following information on our Lab Registration Form:
  • Email Address (primary account where GACRC's notifications will be sent)
  • Your MyID
  • Your phone number
  • Do we need to provide you with a user account?
Additionally, we are interested to receive the following information:
  • A brief description of your computational research
  • Expected number of users
  • An estimate of your storage needs
  • Software planned to be used
By applying for a group account, the Principal Investigator is agreeing that all users will abide by the UGA Policies on the Use of Computers
User Accounts
The PI of a computing lab must request user accounts for members of his/her computing lab.  Please use our User Accounts Form and provide the following information:
  • Email Address (primary account where GACRC's notifications will be sent)
  • Your MyID
  • Your phone number
  • A list of MyIDs of the users which require accounts.
User Accounts for non-UGA Collaborators
The PI of a computing lab can request user accounts for non-UGA collaborators to his/her research projects.  
  • Request a Visiting Researcher/Scholar (VRS) or a Remote Visiting Researcher/Scholar (Remote VRS or RVRS) status for an external collaborator. Information about this program and its application process is available at https://research.uga.edu/visiting/.
  • Once the collaborator's VRS or RVRS status is active, the collaborator will have a UGA MyID. At that point, the UGA PI can request a Sapelo2 account for the collaborator, using our regular Account Creation Form.
 
PLEASE NOTE: New GACRC users are required to attend an introductory training session before being granted access to a GACRC cluster. Information about training requirements and opportunities will be sent once an account is requested.
