Accounts are available for researchers at or affiliated with Vanderbilt University.
Please select the correct option and then complete the form. If you are unsure whether you belong to an existing group, please complete Option 2. OSG users request an account from the grid policy page.
Please note that the Request An Account forms have many questions to help us better meet your needs and expectations. Please allow several business days for the account approval process to be completed.
My account should be added to an existing group on the cluster. The account manager for the group that you select must approve your request before your account is activated in that group.
My account is requested under the guest group. Guest accounts are governed by our Guest Access Policy. Guest accounts for students, staff, and visiting scholars must be approved by a faculty member. Before a guest account is opened, ACCRE staff review the request to confirm it meets our Guest Access Policy and, if necessary, has the required faculty approval.
For continued use of the cluster, all new users are required to attend the ACCRE Cluster Computing Classes within the first two months of opening their accounts. These classes cover introductory topics on the use of the cluster. See the training pages to review the requirements. A reminder of this is included in the introductory e-mail which is automatically sent to you when we create your account. However, if classes are currently in session you do not have to wait for your account to be opened to attend.
