# Cloud

The RCC Cloud Credit program enables **UW students** to use Cloud services for research or class projects with up to $500 of provided credits per student, as well as receive guidance and troubleshooting.
The RCC Cloud Credit program enables **UW Seattle students** to use Cloud services for research or class projects with up to $500 of provided credits per student, as well as receive guidance and troubleshooting.

Students have a choice of using:

- Amazon Web Services (AWS)

- Google Cloud Program (GCP)
RCC is currently providing **AWS Accounts** through CloudBank.

## Get Cloud Credits
In order to be considered for the program, the student must create a proposal.

## Requirements of proposal

### Requirements
- A paragraph describing the project the credits will be used for
- A paragraph describing the cloud technologies that will be used
- A cost estimate, and a description of any relevant administrative details regarding the project such as students involved, time frame, and exit strategy

To **submit a proposal**, fill out the following form [<ins>**here**</ins>](https://forms.gle/d4wnSHW7pEo4baCz5) **and** either send an email to [<ins>**nlsschim@uw.edu**</ins>](mailto:nlsschim@uw.edu) **or** send a Slack message to Nels Schimek on the [<ins>**RCC Slack channel**</ins>](https://uw-rcc.slack.com).

Hyak is UW's high performance computing resource. Research Computing Club maintains a large account on Hyak's Klone cluster. This includes standard compute, GPU, and large memory nodes. Hyak is well suited to 'traditional' job-based computing workflows such as molecular dynamics, DFT, and machine learning model training. Most users should start with Hyak before considering cloud resources. Information on using Hyak can be found in the [<ins>**documentation**</ins>](https://hyak.uw.edu/docs).

1. Make sure you are eligible and have [<ins>**joined RCC**</ins>](index.md#joining-rcc).
2. Review the [<ins>**Hyak Prerequisites**</ins>](prerequisites.md). Hyak is used through a linux command line. For many researchers, HPC resources are the first time they encounter this. This is fine! But you should spend a bit of time making sure you grasp the basics before moving to the supercomputer.
3. Read the [<ins>**Hyak Documentation**</ins>](https://hyak.uw.edu/docs) in full. Further, you should consider attending an in-person [<ins>**Hyak training session**</ins>](events.md#hyak-trainings).
3. Bookmark the [<ins>**Hyak Documentation**</ins>](https://hyak.uw.edu/docs). Further, you should consider attending [<ins>**office hours or a UWIT Research Computing training event Hyak training session**</ins>](https://calendar.washington.edu/sea_uwit-rc).
4. Read and agree to the RCC Hyak resource [<ins>**terms of service**</ins>](hyak_TOS.md).
5. Complete the [<ins>**RCC Hyak skills assessment**</ins>](https://forms.office.com/r/h7Ecdpfh2z). Completion of this form serves as your application for access to Hyak and will trigger the review of all requirements. It may take up to 5 business days to grant access. If you have not heard back after 5 days, you may email RCC leadership or reach out to an officer on slack.

## Completing Set Up

Once you receive an email stating that your access has been granted, there's a few more steps:

1. Make sure two-factor authentication is set up. It almost certainly is, but you can check this at [<ins>**HERE**</ins>](https://itconnect.uw.edu/tools-services-support/access-authentication/2fa/).
2. Be sure to [<ins>**Subscribe to the Hyak mailing list**</ins>](https://mailman1.u.washington.edu/mailman/listinfo/hyak-users) for reminders about monthly maintenance and training opportunity announcements.

Research Computing Club at the University of Washington is a registered student organization that exists to support student computational research. RCC uses funding provided by the UW Student Technology Fee (STF) to maintain nodes on UW's Hyak high performance computing cluster and to provide cloud credits for student use. RCC also works with partners to provide training and support for users of these resources.

## Resources

RCC makes high performance computing resources available in the form of high performance computing cluster access and a cloud credit program. We maintain a large account on [<ins>**Hyak**</ins>](https://hyak.uw.edu/), UW's HPC cluster. This account provides access to CPU and GPU nodes. Our cloud credit program gives students additional flexibility in selecting compute resources.

Before you can use Hyak, you must meet a few preerequisites related to using the command line. Hyak doesn't have a graphical user interface with windows and a mouse like your personal computer does. Instead, you interact with Hyak via a 'shell'. Every action you take on Hyak will be entered to this shell as a text command. If you have used a linux system before, this is likely familiar to you. If not, it is fast to learn!

## Getting a terminal on your local computer
## Before You Login

You will need a terminal application on your computer to access Hyak. If you use a mac or run linux, you already have this. If you use Windows, you will need to install it. We reccomend using Windows Subsytem for Linux (WSL2) for this. This is a service that lets you run a full linux system on windows and gives you access to many of the tools you will need to access Hyak. Follow the instructions at [<ins>**HERE**</ins>](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/) to install.
[<ins>**Ensure you have reviewed the login requirements.**</ins>](https://github.com/UWrc/linux-fundamentals.git)

## Hyak Basics

Follow this [<ins>**link**</ins>](https://hyak.uw.edu/docs/hyak101/basics/syllabus) to complete the Hyak Basics Tutorial which includes basic Linux fundamentals tailored to Hyak users.
* [<ins>**Complete the Linux Fundamentals Tutorial**</ins>](https://github.com/UWrc/linux-fundamentals.git).
* [<ins>**Review the Hyak Short How-To Video Collection**</ins>](https://hyak.uw.edu/learn)
* [<ins>**Hyak Klone Login**</ins>](https://youtu.be/gbse1xqezqk)
* [<ins>**Hyak Home Directories**</ins>](https://youtu.be/OhLwqAZIBOo)
* [<ins>**Hyak Klone Filesystem**</ins>](https://youtu.be/VFGREiZ37x0)
* [<ins>**Hyak Klone Slurm**</ins>](https://youtu.be/jgHXB7IfGPQ?si=0lFpU_ujrQoUUmyb)

## Editing text files

Most jobs you run on Hyak will involve editing text files with configuration information. Since there is no Micrsoft Word on Hyak, you will need a command line text editor. This is a program that lets you edit a text file from the terminal.

On Hyak, you can use Vim, Emacs, or Nano. Each has its advantages and drawbacks. We suggest picking one and becoming comfortable with it.

[<ins>**Intro to Nano**</ins>](https://linuxize.com/post/how-to-use-nano-text-editor/)

When working with files, you may also need to modify [<ins>**file permissions**</ins>](https://linuxjourney.com/lesson/file-permissions).
