Environments
Create an environment
From the ACCORD console, select the project you want to work with and the desired resource tier. We currently offer the following resource tier options:
- Small (2 cores & 16 GB RAM)
- Medium (4 cores & 32 GB RAM)
- Large (8 cores, 64 GB RAM)
- X-Large ( 16 cores & 64 GB RAM)
Next, select an environment. Your container should be running within a few seconds and will appear under “Running Environments” on the same page.
To learn more about your choices of environments, see Environments
Connect to an environment
Once you have created an environment, click on the “CONNECT” button for the appropriate environment and a new browser tab will open.
Terminate an environment
When you are finished with your environment, please terminate it. Using the “Running Environments” section of the ACCORD console, find the environment you wish to terminate.
On the far right will be a red “Terminate” button. Clicking this will terminate your environment.
Note that your saved files and storage are never terminated or destroyed in this process.
Terminated environments cannot be recovered. However, they can be replicated.
Replicate an environment
To replicate an environment you used before, scroll down on the ACCORD console to see a list of
environments you have run before. Click the orange “Run” button next to an environment you want to reuse.
Software and data
Software requirements
- A modern web browser such as Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge.

Data retention
PIs may suspend a project at any time using the console. Project data is stored for 6 months and then
automatically removed. Suspended projects can be reinstated by request before this time.
