What is the Georgia Advanced Computing Research Center?
The Georgia Advanced Computing Research Center, (formerly RCC), is a collaboration between the Office of the Vice President for Research and the Office of the Chief Information Officer. It is adminstered by EITS and the Office of Research Services.
The mission of the GACRC is to provide and support research computing and communications resources that enhance the productivity of researchers at UGA, enable UGA researchers to accelerate the rate of new scientific and artistic breakthroughs, enable collaborative research between UGA researchers and their peers at other research institutions, and provide effective access to information sources throughout the world.
Who Can Use GACRC Services?
Access to the GACRC resources is restricted to UGA faculty and staff who are granted GACRC accounts.
How Can I Request an GACRC Account?
Lab Groups
User accounts are created as part of a "lab group" which has been registered by a Principal Investigator (PI) via the Group Registration Form. Once the group is registered, the PI will receive an email stating that he/she and members of his/her group may request their individual user accounts.
The Group Registration Form is located here:
https://rcc.uga.edu/accounts/lab_head.php
- NOTE: MyID authentication is required to access this form.
User Accounts
To obtain a user account, fill out and submit the Account Creation Request Form. A list of registered lab groups is on that form. You will be notified via email when the account has been created.
The Account Creation Request Form can be found here:
https://rcc.uga.edu/accounts/index.php
- NOTE: MyID authentication is required to access this form.
Documentation on the usage of these systems is available online, as well:
