This service enables faculty, research staff, and graduate students at Oakland University to obtain accounts on the Matilda High Performance Computing Cluster. This resource supports computationally intensive research and academic projects across various disciplines. Principal Investigators (PIs) can request accounts for themselves and their team members by completing the “Matilda HPC Access Request” form available on the OU Forms page. Graduate students and research staff may also submit requests, which must be approved by their supervising PI. Each user is allocated a home directory with 50 GB of storage, and project spaces are available for collaborative work.
Who is eligible?
Active faculty, research staff, or graduate students approved by the Principal Investigator (PI).
Prerequisites and Expectations
Each request is reviewed by the Academic & Administrative Computing Services team to ensure compliance with research and academic computing policies. Principal Investigators (PIs) must approve access requests for graduate students and research staff before accounts are created. Once approved, new users will receive account credentials and instructions for accessing the cluster. Requests for additional storage or project spaces are also reviewed to ensure proper resource allocation based on research needs.
