Learn More about Lighthouse
UW has received a discretionary allocation of computational resources through ALCF to support University of Wyoming researchers who would like to try out Argonne National Lab's world-class computing resources for their work.
Should you consider an account?
The University of Wyoming Lighthouse allocation is intended to serve as an on-ramp for researchers at UW who would like to test and experiment using Argonne National Lab computing resources. Utilization of resources through Lighthouse would also help prepare researchers for their own major allocation awards through Dept. of Energy's INCITE and ALCC award programs.
ALCF Resources are ideal for ARCC users who need to scale GPU resources beyond what is often available on the ARCC's Medicinebow cluster, or those who need access to specialty AI accelerators available through their ALCF's AI Testbed.

What's available to UW ALCF Users?
Lighthouse-UWyoming project members are granted access to the associated allocation through which they can access Argonne computational resources. This includes available allocated compute time and allocated storage space.
The Lighthouse allocation is a shared allocation with a renewable amount of node hours and storage on all ALCF production machines. The Lighthouse allocation is meant for Wyoming researchers looking to get on ALCF machines to test and port their code before requesting their own discretionary ALCF allocation.
User Support
Users with general support questions on ALCF resources may contact arcc-help@uwyo.edu or lighthouse@alcf.anl.gov. Additionally, the ALCF Support webpage offers additional training opportunities and user guides for ALCF systems.
