Create an Account

Fill out the account request form on the TACC Account Management Portal and it will be reviewed by our User Services team.

Faculty, professional research staff, and postdoctoral researchers may request Principle Investigator (PI) eligibility for their account. PIs are responsible for requesting system allocations and managing their team.

Graduate and undergraduate students can create an account, but must be added to allocations by PIs to use the systems.

Change to Service Unit Charging

Dear TACC Community, Starting Tuesday, October 1st, we will be implementing a new policy regarding how short-duration jobs are charged on our systems. All jobs which start will be charged a minimum of 0.25 SUs per node regardless of actual runtime. This is equivalent to 15 minutes of runtime. This change be will applied to all TACC resources. We understand that large jobs will be the most affected and encourage users to do thorough testing at smaller node counts before increasing the size of their jobs in order to reduce the impact of this change. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.  If you have any questions about this change, please submit a ticket: https://tacc.utexas.edu/portal/tickets
