Setting Up Accounts for The Data Mine

Students need to create an account on the Anvil high performance computing cluster.

The starting point for setting up an account is identity.access-ci.org/new-user

Dr Ward strongly suggests that you use the Firefox browser on a computer (instead of Chrome, Edge, Safari, etc.).

This video will walk you through the required steps to create your account:

Our team will not know which username you were assigned, unless you tell us. Please put your name, the email address that you used to setup your ACCESS account, and the ACCESS username that you were just assigned, at this URL: purdue.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_23G64aAAKNshTrE

This video will walk you through the required steps to share your name, email address, and assigned username:

To setup the two-factor authentication on your phone, log in to the ACCESS portal for the first time, using the username that you were just assigned, and the password that you selected, at this URL: ondemand.anvil.rcac.purdue.edu

The sessions at Purdue will be hands-on and immersive. Students will benefit from having a laptop to type on, rather than (say) an Apple iPad or Galaxy Tablet. The laptop does not need to be new or fancy. The laptop simply enables students to login to the high performance computing cluster that students will use throughout the sessions.

Thanks for considering!

Our team at The Data Mine looks forward to working with students again this year!
