Obtaining a NERSC account

There is a NERSC respository (mp309) allocated for CS267. Andrew and Razvan are PI proxies on this repo, and will add the names on the class list to the allocation. To complete the creation of your account please follow the instructions at this site: http://www.nersc.gov/nusers/accounts/get.php.

You will need this account to do the homework!

NOTE: When submitting the NERSC Computer Use Policies Form, the ORGANIZATION should be THE CAMPUS YOU ARE ATTENDING, e.g. UC Berkeley or UC Davis, and your NERSC PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR should be HORST SIMON. The REPO NAME is mp309.
