The usage of bwForCluster is free of charge. bwForClusters are customized to the requirements of particular research areas.

bwForClusters are financed by the DFG (German Research Foundation) and by the Ministry of Science, Research and Arts of Baden-Württemberg based on scientifc grant proposal (compare proposals guidelines as per Art. 91b GG).

Granting user access to a bwForCluster requires 3 steps:

# Registration of a new or joining an already existing ''rechenvorhaben (RV)'' at [https://www.bwhpc.de/zas.html "Zentrale Antragsseite (ZAS)"]. An ''RV'' defines the planned compute activities of a group of researchers. As coworker of this group you only need to register your membership in the corresponding ''RV''.
# Application for a [[#Issuing bwForCluster entitlement | bwForCluster entitlement]] issued by your university.
# [[#Personal registration at bwForCluster | Personal registration at assigned cluster site ]] based on approved ''RV'' [[File:Zas assignment icon.svg|25px|]] and issued bwForCluster entitlement [[File:bwfor entitlement icon.svg|25px|]].

<br>
Step 1 and 2 can be done in parallel. When both are finished, you can do step 3. Which cluster you will get access to depends on your research area and is decided in step on ("ZAS").


= ''RV'' registration at ''ZAS'' =
You will have to register a "rechenvorhaben" in which you shortly describe your group's compute activities and the resources you need. Any amount of co-workers can then join your RV without having to register it again.

== Register a new ''RV'' ==

Typically done only by the leader of a scientific work group or the senior scientist of a research group/collaboration.

You will be:
# held accountable for the co-workers in the RV
# asked to provide information for the two reports required by the DFG for their funding of bwFor clusters
# likely asked for a contribution to the grant proposal for a new bwFor cluster of the same research area

Please follow the steps at [[bwForCluster RV registration]]


== Become Coworker of an ''RV''==

Your advisor (the ''RV' responsible") will provide you with the following:
* acronym
* password
of the ''RV''

To become coworker of an ''RV'', please login at
* https://www.bwhpc-c5.de/en/ZAS/bwforcluster_collaboration.php
and provide acronym and password. You will be assigned to the 'RV'' as a member.

<span style="font-weight:bold;font-size:110%;">Response</span>
# After submitting the request you will receive an email from ''ZAS'' about the further steps (i.e. [[#Personal registration at bwForCluster | personal registration at assigned bwForCluster]]).
# The RV owner and any managers will be notified automatically.
# You can see the RVs you are a member of at https://www.bwhpc-c5.de/en/ZAS/info_rv.php

= Issuing bwForCluster entitlement =

Your own high school or university has to grant you permission to use a bwForCluster. Each university has their own procedure.

How to get an entitlement is described at the separate page [[BwForCluster_Entitlement]]

= Personal registration at bwForCluster =

Once you have registered your own RV (''rechenvorhaben'')
or a membership in an RV, the cluster assignment team will provide
you with information about your designated cluster. You will receive
an email with a website to create an account for yourself
on that cluster.

Available bwForCluster registration servers (service providers):

|-

Please note, this step is different to your registration at ZAS since
here you register yourself as a person. Only based on your personal credentials
a user account can be generated. However, resource requests of the RV in ZAS
will be cross-checked with the resources consumed by you and your RV coworkers
on this cluster.

After steps 1 and 2 (RV approval and bwForCluster entitlement) please visit the

* bwForCluster ''service provider'' registration website (see table above or email after RV approval):
*# Select your home organization from the list of organizations and click '''Proceed'''.
*# You will be redirected to the ''Identity Provider'' of your home organization.
*# Enter your home-organizational user ID (might be user name, email, ...) and password and click '''Login''' or '''Anmelden'''.
*# When doing this for the first time you need to accept that your personal data is transferred to the ''service provider''.
*# You will be redirected back to the cluster registration website.
*# Select '''Service Description''' of the designated cluster.
*# Click on '''Register''' link to register for this cluster.
*# Read and accept the terms and conditions of use and click on button '''Register'''.
*# Finally you will receive an email with instructions how to login to the cluster (please wait ~15 minutes before trying).
*# Click on '''Set Service Password''' and set a password for the cluster.
*# '''Note: Users from Tübingen accessing the BinAC do not set a separate service password''' and have to use their local account credentials instead.
*# '''Note:''' You can return to the registration website at any time, in order to review your registration details, change/reset your service password or deregister from the service by yourself.
