CGA High Performance Computing Request Form

This form is intended to serve as the starting point for requesting use of the CGA High Performance Computing (CGA-HPC) resource. The CGA-HPC is intended to support the educational, research and outreach mission of the Center and is available to all affiliated faculty students and staff.

Please be aware of the following important caveats:

This resource is limited and requested resources will be provisioned following an approval process.
Requests may be denied if other, more appropriate, resources are available on campus.
Data stored within the CGA-HPC system are not backed-up, please plan accordingly.
Use of the CGA-HPC will require specialized technological expertise on the part of the requesting party.
