Overview
UMIACS Class Accounts are currently intended to support classes for all of UMIACS/CSD via the Nexus cluster. All new class accounts will be serviced solely through this cluster. Faculty may request that a class be supported by contacting staff@umiacs.umd.edu.
Getting an account
Your TA will request an account for you. Once this is done, you will be notified by email that you have an account to redeem. If you have not received an email, please contact your TA. You must redeem the account within 7 days or else the redemption token will expire. If your redemption token does expire, please contact your TA to have it renewed.
Once you do redeem your account, you will need to wait until you get a confirmation email that your account has been installed. This is typically done once a day on days that the University is open for business.
Registering for Duo
UMIACS requires that all Class accounts be registered for MFA (multi-factor authentication) under our Duo instance (note that this is different than UMD's general Duo instance). You will not be able to log onto the class submission host until you register.
In order to register, visit our directory app and log in with your Class username and password. You will then receive a prompt to enroll in Duo. For assistance in enrollment, you can visit our Duo help page.
Once notified that your account has been installed and you have registered in our Duo instance, you can access the following class submission host(s) using SSH with your assigned username and your chosen password:
nexusclass00.umiacs.umd.eduornexusclass01.umiacs.umd.edu
Cleaning up your account before the end of the semester
Class accounts for a given semester will be archived and deleted after that semester's completion as early as the following:
- Spring semesters: June 1st of same year
- Summer semesters: September 1st of same year
- Fall semesters: January 1st of next year
It is your responsibility to ensure you have backed up anything you want to keep from your class account's personal or group storage (below sections) prior to the relevant date.
Personal Storage
Your home directory has a quota of 20GB and is located at:
/fs/classhomes/<semester><year>/<coursecode>/<username>
where <semester> is either "spring", "summer", "fall", or "winter", <year> is the current year e.g., "2021", <coursecode> is the class' course code as listed in UMD's Schedule of Classes in all lowercase e.g., "cmsc999z", and <username> is the username mentioned in the email you received to redeem the account e.g., "c999z000".
You can request up to another 100GB of personal storage if you would like by having your TA contact staff. This storage will be located at
/fs/class-projects/<semester><year>/<coursecode>/<username>
Group Storage
You can also request group storage if you would like by having your TA contact staff to specify the usernames of the accounts that should be in the group. Only other class accounts in the same class can be added to the group. The quota will be 100GB multiplied by the number of accounts in the group and will be located at
/fs/class-projects/<semester><year>/<coursecode>/<groupname>
where <groupname> is composed of:
- the abbreviated course code as used in the username e.g., "c999z"
- the character "g"
- the number of the group (starting at 0 for the first group for the class requested to us) prepended with 0s to make the total group name 8 characters long
e.g., "c999zg00".
Cluster Usage
You may not run computational jobs on any submission host. You must schedule your jobs with the SLURM workload manager. You can also find out more with the public documentation for the SLURM Workload Manager.
Any questions or issues with the cluster must be first made through your TA.
Class accounts only have access to the following submission parameters in SLURM. You may be required to explicitly set each of these in your submission parameters.
- Partition -
class - Account -
class - QoS -
default,medium, andhigh
Example
Here is a basic example to schedule a interactive job running bash with a single GPU in the partition class with the account class running with the QoS of default.
$ srun --pty --partition=class --account=class --qos=default --gres=gpu:1 bash
bash-4.4$ hostname tron14.umiacs.umd.edu bash-4.4$ nvidia-smi -L GPU 0: NVIDIA RTX A4000 (UUID: GPU-55f2d3b7-9162-8b02-50de-476a012c626c)
Available Nodes
You can list the available nodes and their current state with the show_nodes -p class command. This list of nodes is not completely static as nodes may be pulled out of service to repair/replace GPUs or other components.

You can also find more granular information about an individual node with the scontrol show node command.
