1. Sign in with your TACC account at https://www.tacc.utexas.edu/portal/account
2. Click “Pair Device” under MFA Devices.
3. Follow the instructions to pair an authenticator app of your choice
4. Detailed instructions are available here: https://docs.tacc.utexas.edu/basics/mfa/#setupmfa-step2

title	Steps to enable Jupyter Notebook for Standard Compute on Stampede3

Info
You only have to do this once at the start of the semester

Launch terminal (Command Prompt on Windows)
Connect to TACC by running the following command replace <user> with your TACC username
1. Code Block
  ssh <user>@stampede3.tacc.utexas.edu
2. If asked “Are you sure you want to continue connecting”, type ‘yes’ and hit enter
Enter your TACC password, then hit enter (your password will be invisible as you type)
Enter the 6 digit code from your MFA app (e.g. Google Authenticator or DUO), then hit enter
Type ‘idev’ and hit enter
1. If prompted to select an account, type '1' and hit enter
Copy and run the following command to prep Jupyter notebooks for standard compute:

Code Block

language	bash

/work2/09606/paj264_tacc/stampede_jupyter.sh

Type 'y' and press enter
1. Wait till you see “Done” for jupyter to finish installing
Congratulations, you have now setup jupyter notebook.
1. Type ‘exit’ then hit enter
2. Type ‘exit’ and hit enter a second time

Note
TACC is a shared High Performance Compute Cluster. There will be times when the resource you want to use is fully occupied, and you will have to wait for an available session.

Navigate to https://tap.tacc.utexas.edu/mfalogin/
Login with your TACC username, password, and the token from your MFA app
Don’t be intimidated by the long form. After filling it out once, you can resubmit the same settings.
1. For standard compute use these settings:
  1. System: Stampede3 Lonestar6
  2. Application: Jupyter Notebook
  3. Project: <select the project code shared by your instructor in the drop down>
  4. Queue: skx vm-devsmall
  5. Job Name: Jupyter Standard
  6. Time Limit: 1:0:0
  7. Reservation: <Leave Blank>
2. For GPU compute, use these settings:
  1. System: Lonestar6
  2. Application: Jupyter Notebook
  3. Project: <select the project code shared by your instructor in the drop down>
  4. Queue: gpu-a100-small
  5. Job Name: Jupyter GPU
  6. Time Limit: 1:0:0
  7. Reservation: <Leave Blank>
Hit Submit and wait for the next screen. It can sometimes take up to 60 seconds
On the Job Status screen, click “Connect”
1. If you don’t see Connect, wait 30 seconds and click “Check Status” till you see Connect
If your class is using huggingface (your professor will let you know), run the following code the first time you connect to your notebook
