HPC Accounts for Sponsored External Collaborators

External (non-NYU) collaborators can access, with proper sponsorship, the NYU HPC Environment.

• 1. The first step is to sponsor a collaborator for an NYU netid (if they do not have one already).  A department administrator or the faculty sponsor must submit the Affiliate Management Form (the link is only accessible over VPN, or within NYU-Net).

  2.  Once a netid for the external collaborator is created, the collaborator must submit the Request for an NYU HPC account. 

• • The collaborator must setup VPN access to be able to access the HPC account request form.

  • The collaborator must enter in the account request form the Netid of the sponsoring NYU Full time faculty

  • The collaborator should select "External Collaborator" as Affiliation, when filing the HPC account request form.

• 1. Once the HPC request is submitted, the sponsoring faculty will receive an email with a link to approve (or deny) the HPC account request for the external collaborator. The account approval link can only be accessed over VPN.

     • Once the sponsoring faculty approves the account request, the HPC account is created within one hour.

  2. Once the HPC account is created, the external collaborator can access HPC resources as described here.

Please Note: As with all sponsored accounts, HPC accounts for external collaborators are valid for a period of 12 months, at which point a renewal process is required to continue access to the NYU HPC environment.
