Hello,

I will need to run UKESM on ARCHER as part of a new project. Could you provide some information about how to get a HPC\_Account code. (The project is EU funded but we do have money to pay for ARCHER time).

In preparation for our project I have also tried to do the online training course ([https://ncas-cms.github.io/um-training/running.html#running-a-standard-suite](https://ncas-cms.github.io/um-training/running.html#running-a-standard-suite)) however I am getting stuck with trying to run a suite as it does not seem to like me using the n02-cms account code. Would it be possible to have access to a HPC account code for training while I wait for our real one to be set up.

Many thanks  
Julia

Julia

See [Applying to use high performance computing services – UKRI](https://www.ukri.org/councils/nerc/facilities-and-resources/find-a-nerc-facility-or-resource/applying-to-use-high-performance-computing-services/) and [https://hpc-portal.nerc.ukri.org/](https://hpc-portal.nerc.ukri.org/)

I have added you to n02-ncas - use that for training.

Grenville
