Getting an Account on the ASU Supercomputers

Who can have an account on the supercomputers?

Accounts on the ASU supercomputers are available to all ASU faculty members, staff, students, and affiliates. Please note that students and certain staff must be sponsored by a faculty member in order to have access to the supercomputer.

Accounts on the supercomputers use your ASURITE login and password. If your ASURITE credentials need to be created or renewed, please see this document on requesting a courtesy affiliate account.


How do I request an account?

To obtain an account on the supercomputers, an account request form must be filled out. This form can be found on the Research Computing website.

Once the form is submitted, your request will be reviewed and your account will be created within two business days. An email with onboarding instructions will be sent to you once your account is ready.

If you are an instructor with an academic course, please see this document on requesting academic course support and accounts for your students.


Account Aging Process

Accounts on the supercomputers are checked at the end of each semester for faculty, staff, and students that are no longer with the University. All old accounts are locked to prevent those users the ability to log into the supercomputer. If your account is locked and you require extended access to the supercomputer, please email ASU Research Computing at rtshelp@asu.edu.
