The following procedure takes a few days to get through because of clearance delays, so please start straight away, since every thing else in the course depends on it :)

We will run parts of this course on a High Performance Computing cluster, HPC2N. The cluster is a local resource in Umeå, and to use it you need a user account both at the National Academic Infrastructure for Supercomputing in Sweden (NAISS), and at HPC2N.

Create a user account at SUPR/NAISS

To do for you

Fill out & submit the account request form. Open this and all the following links in a different tab, they do NOT properly open in Canvas.

Read carefully and follow the provided instructions.

Tip

Use “Register with Federated Identity” if you are enrolled in a Swedish university.
If you are not enrolled in a Swedish university or if the previous option doesn’t work for you, use instead “Register without Federated Identity”.

Accept NAISS user agreement

Just after creating the SUPR account, on the page you are taken to, there will be a section titled “User Agreement” at the very top. Just under it is the button named “Accept NAISS User Agreement”.

To do for you

Click it.

Alternately, if you do this at a later point. Login to SUPR. At the very top it will say “NAISS User Agreement Pending”.

Tip

Use With SWAMID if you are enrolled in a Swedish university - this option is much faster!
If you are not enrolled in a Swedish university use instead Alternative: Offline via Paper Form. Here you will have to print out, sign and send in the form. This may take up to a week.

When you have a SUPR account you can join our course project on HPC2N:

Join the course project at HPC2N

To do for you

Click “Projects” in the left side column.
Under “Requesting Membership in Projects”, put in hpc2n2025-237, the identification of the project you wish to join. Click “Search for Project”.
Click “Request” on the project.
We will then get an e-mail notification about your request. Once we have accepted your membership, you in turn will get an e-mail, telling you that the membership has been accepted. Then, go to SUPR again to apply for an account at HPC2N.

Create a user account at HPC2N

Note: you must be a member of a project before you do this!

To do for you

Login to SUPR.
Click “Accounts” in the left side column.
You can request an account at HPC2N now. Look under the heading “Account Requests”.
Click “Request account”.
Your information will then be sent to HPC2N, and you will be taken back to a webpage where you can choose your username.
User accounts are usually created once a week. You will get an email from HPC2N when your account has been created.
