Dear ACS-II Student, I'll be presenting material on parallel programming to you starting October 9th. I'd like to make sure that each of you has set up an HPC account by then, so that we can do a little bit of lab work there. You don't automatically have an HPC account; you have to request one. If you don't have an HPC account yet, here is what you should do: 1) go to www.hpc.fsu.edu 2) Under "Your HPC Account" choose "Apply for an Account" 3) Under "Apply for an Account" click on "Apply for an Account" (I know, I seem to be repeating myself.) 4) Under "Select an option" choose "Scientific Computing" (This assumes you are a student in our department. If not, choose "General Access" and select me as your sponsor.) 5) Select "Non-Faculty Account". 6) Fill in the form. John Burkardt
