Eligibility

ACEnet facilities are designated for Canadian researchers or those collaborating on Canadian research projects. Any academic researcher from a Canadian research institution who needs high performance computing to support his or her research may apply for an account on ACEnet.

Note: If you are a researcher with an organization other than a Canadian University, click here.

If you are at a Canadian university, continue with the procedure below.

How to Get an Account

Please read Conditions of Use before you decide to apply for an account.

Step 1. Get a Compute Canada ID

All eligible ACEnet users must register with Compute Canada, obtaining a Compute Canada Identifier (CCI). Faculty members must obtain a CCI before any non-faculty members of their research group (graduate students, post docs, research assistants, etc.) can register.

Step 2. Get an ACEnet Account

Once you have your CCI (usually takes 24-48 hours) log into the Compute Canada Database (CCDB) and click the 'Apply' button next to ACEnet.
