To get access to AWI's HPC resources, you need to apply for an account. After this is granted, you are added to the group HPC_user, which is needed to access the HPC machines.

  1. To apply log-in on https://id.awi.de and create a new order ("Neue Bestellung"/"Start a new request").
  2. Next, choose "IT-services" and add "High-Performance-Computing (HPC)" to your basket ("In den Einkaufswagen"/"Add to cart").
  3. Now you can optionally add a reson for your application ("Begründung"/"Reason") and submit the request ("Absenden"/"Submit"). We recommend you do NOT specify an end date (or start date) in the form.
  4. When your account was granted, we will setup your account on the HPC machine(s) and your will receive an automated mail once everything is done.

Note: If your AWI account expires your HPC account will be deactivated automatically. If your generic AWI account has been reactivated, you should not need to repeat the steps above.
