Request an Account or a Project Allocation<\/h1>\n

Before you begin using Minerva, it is helpful to understand three basic concepts: your Minerva account, your project, and your resource allocation<\/strong>. Your account identifies who you are<\/strong>, your project identifies the research work you are doing<\/strong>, and an allocation determines which Minerva resources your project can use<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

A Minerva account<\/strong> gives you the ability to log in to the Minerva HPC environment and run computational jobs. For most Mount Sinai researchers, access is requested through the Mount Sinai User<\/strong> account process. You will need your Mount Sinai username, your Principal Investigator (PI), and your department. Once your request is submitted, your PI is contacted for approval.<\/p>\n

Your Minerva account is separate from your individual computer or workstation. Once you log in to Minerva, you are working on a shared computing system and can access the resources and software for which you and your research project are authorized.<\/p>\n

Please select the option below that best matches your access needs:<\/p>\n

*<\/span> Requires campus network or VPN<\/p>\n
