Hyak Access

Applying for Access

  1. Make sure you are eligible and have joined RCC.
  2. Review the Hyak Prerequisites. Hyak is used through a linux command line. For many researchers, HPC resources are the first time they encounter this. This is fine! But you should spend a bit of time making sure you grasp the basics before moving to the supercomputer.
  3. Read the Hyak Documentation in full. Further, you should consider attending an in-person Hyak training session.
  4. Read and agree to the RCC Hyak resource terms of service.
  5. Complete the RCC Hyak skills assessment. Completion of this form serves as your application for access to Hyak and will trigger the review of all requirements. It may take up to 5 business days to grant access. If you have not heard back after 5 days, you may email RCC leadership or reach out to an officer on slack.

Completing Set Up

Once you receive an email stating that your access has been granted, there's a few more steps:

  1. Make sure two-factor authentication is set up. It almost certainly is, but you can check this at HERE.
  2. Be sure to Subscribe to the Hyak mailing list for reminders about monthly maintenance and training opportunity announcements.
