Accounts and Allocations¶

Note: LSU HPC and LONI systems are two distinct sets of computational resources administered by HPC@LSU. Having an account on one does not grant the user access to the other.

All user accounts require a valid institutional email address. Email addresses provided by commercial entities, such as Google, Yahoo, Microsoft etc, are not acceptable.

LSU HPC¶

In order to use LSU HPC computational resources, individuals must:

• Agree to the terms of the LSU HPC Usage Policies

• Be listed on an active LSU HPC allocation.

• LSU Allocation Policies

• LSU Allocation Request Page

• Hold an LSU HPC user account.

• LSU HPC User Account Request Page.

By requesting an LSU HPC user account, individuals acknowledge that they have read and understand the LSU HPC Usage Policies, and agree to abide by them.

All user account holders are asked to acknowledge their use of LSU HPC resources in any resulting research publications and reports with the following statement:
