Getting Started – New Users
HPC resources are available to UC faculty and students engaged in research. To get started, request a consultation. An ARCC research facilitator/computational scientist will help you figure out the best resources for your workflow and estimate the amount of resources you may need for your project. The ARCC facilitator will help new users set up their accounts and projects in UC’s Stratocore system.
First Time Users of the ARCC
