1. Pick your cluster. Use the comparison table โ€” SeaWulf for general research, NVwulf for GPU/AI, ClinWulf for PHI data โ€” or let the cluster picker suggest one in three questions.
  2. Request an account and project number. Follow requesting accounts & project numbers. Collaborator and external partner accounts are supported.
  3. Set up DUO two-factor authentication. Required for every login โ€” see the DUO guide.
  4. Connect. Use SSH (connection guide) or skip the terminal entirely with Open OnDemand in your browser.
  5. Submit your first job. The Quick Start Guide walks through SLURM basics; keep the cheat sheet handy โ€” or generate a starter script with the job script builder.
