Getting an Account
LUHPCC facilities are available to the Lakehead University community for academic research and instructional activities. Other types of activity require pre-approval.
A user account is required to use the Wesley cluster. Accounts are not required to use the Visualization facilities.
Types of Accounts on Wesley
- primary accounts are available for Lakehead faculty and staff
- sponsored accounts are available to postdocs, graduate students, visiting researchers, and undergraduate students. These accounts must be sponsored by a faculty account holder, and may be terminated at the request of the sponsor.
- course accounts have mnemonic usernames (eg. e5332-01, e5332-02) and are assigned to students for specific courses that require the cluster. These accounts must be requested by the course instructor. Course accounts are disabled and their contents removed at the end of the course.
