How do I submit an account request?
HPC accounts are provisioned on a per-cluster basis and granted with the permission of their principal investigator (PI). Accounts that are provisioned under each PI will have access to that PI's purchased resources and their own separate home directory.
Access to all HPC clusters is granted through the use of SSH keys. In addition, Hive offers password authentication using your campus passphrase. For information on creating SSH keys, please visit the access documentation page.
Please visit our documentation site for the detailed information on submitting account requests:-

How do external collaborators get an HPC account?
If you don’t have a UC Davis affiliation, you need to have a Faculty member sponsor your account. The easiest way to do that is the sponsor/PI has to fill out a temporary account request form which is called “Temporary Computing Account for Special UC Davis Affiliates”
Windows
We recommend MobaXterm as the most straightforward SSH client. You can download its free home edition (Installer Edition) from https://mobaxterm.mobatek.net/
The Mobaxterm Portable Edition is not recommended as it deletes the sessions. Once you install the stable version of MobaXterm, open its terminal and enter this command:
ssh-keygen
This command will create a private key and a public key. Do not share your private key; we recommend giving it a passphrase for security.
To view the .ssh directory and to read the public key, enter these commands:
ls -al ~/.sshmore ~/.ssh/*.pub
macOS:
Use a terminal to create an SSH key pair using the command:
ssh-keygen
To view the .ssh directory and to read the public key, enter these commands:ls -al ~/.sshmore ~/.ssh/*.pub
