bwForCluster Access
The computer system is available upon request to all scientists in Baden-Württemberg free of charge.
Access is made possible by the innovation project "Federal Identity Management Baden-Württemberg" (bwIDM), which is funded by the state. Remote resources are accessed from the "Heimat-lokalen" context using Shibboleth-based authentication and authorisation procedures.
Central Application Page for bwForCluster
The central request page (ZAS) is the web interface for processing resource requests and resource use extensions for bwForCluster. The requests are managed as computational projects. The application procedure provides for two groups:
- Responsible persons/applicants and employees
and two modes:
- Initial application (for 1 year) and extension (for another year)
Add Members to an Existing "Rechenvorhaben"
If new persons are added to an existing bwForCluster computational project, they still have to apply for an appropriate authorization (Entitlement) by filling out the form below and registering for the respective bwForCluster.
