General Onboarding

          New members should follow the documentation found here to set up new accounts and gain access to all the necessary general content. This content is not specific to DUNE or CDMS and should be completed before the onboarding for each specific project. The most critical to complete here is setting up HPRC accounts.

Using your Personal Computer/Phone

          Here you can find resources for recommended personal computer software and coding tutorials. This includes VPN, remote connection to Grace, C++ and Python resources.

Group Google Drive

          The group uses Google Drive to store and share talks and documents. You will need a TAMU Google Account to access it. The link below is a direct link to the drive. If you do not have access yet, simply click the first link below and you will be asked if you want to send a request to be added. Click yes. The driver manager will approve it and assign you an access level according to your status. If you do not hear from them within 48 hours, let Toback know.

Using Big Computing (HPRC)

          If you will be using Mitchell Computing resources for a computing project, then you will need to access the High Performance Research Computing (HPRC) cluster using the TAMU VPN and your NetID. This is a requirement for anyone working on CDMS and or DUNE projects. Most of the coding done, from top to bottom is done through HPRC.

General Analysis

          The most popular method of conducting data analysis is with Jupyter Notebooks using Python. To use a Jupyter Notebook on Grace or Terra, you can use the following Interactive Portals. This process is used for DUNE and CDMS analysis users. This step requires you have a HPRC account.
