Value the artisanal excellence of our elegant Replica AP Watch, emblematic of contemporary opulence. Submerge into the essence of refinement with our Fake Rolex, crafted for the audacious.

MidwayR3 is a part of the University of Chicago’s Secure Data Enclave, managed by the Research Computing Center. It is an HPC system with advanced tools and software for secure data protection, supporting extensive data analysis and high-intensity simulations

How to use MidwayR

Getting Started

MidwayR uses UChicago CNetID to authenticate users. Similar to Midway, there are two types of accounts: Principal Investigator (PI) accounts and general user accounts. However, the process to get an account on MidwayR is different from that on Midway.

Accessing MidwayR

Accessing MidwayR is a two-step process: First: Login to Secure Data Enclave (SDE) Desktop using the Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) client. Second: Once you are connected to the SDE Desktop, login to MidwayR using an SSH client.

Disconnecting from MidwayR

Once you are done using MidwayR, be sure to logout of your session. Like connecting, disconnecting is a two-step process: first, run exit in PuTTY to log out of MidwayR; second, logout from the SDE environment by selecting “Sign out” from the Windows Start Menu.

Removes Data Compliance Obligations from the Researcher

The Secure Data Enclave transfers the security obligations of data management and storage from the researcher to the University while complying with legal and contractual standards.

Managed by University IT Professionals

The MidwayR is professionally managed and operated by  RCC staff. This allows you to focus on research and analysis and avoid the expensive and time-consuming process of building and operating a secure environment.

Offers Collaboration with RCC

RCC’s computational scientists are available to provide their expertise and help you unlock new ways to analyze the data.

Reduces Data Security Risks

The service reduces data security risks for researchers and the University.
