Registration/Login

All members of universities and colleges in Baden-Württemberg can use the bwHPC resources. Prefixes are used to ensure that the usernames assigned by the home organization are unique within the state. The username for the bwHPC clusters is the same as the one assigned by the university or college, but it is prefixed with two letters for the home institution.

The following list contains all prefixes currently in use.

University	Prefix	Username bwUniCluster	Username bwForCluster
Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT)	ka	<username>	ka_<username>
Universität Freiburg	fr	fr_<username>
Universität Heidelberg	hd	hd_<username>
Universität Hohenheim	ho	ho_<username>
Universität Konstanz	kn	kn_<username>
Universität Mannheim	ma	ma_<username>

Examples

• If you are a member of the University of Konstanz and your local username is ab1234, your username on any bwHPC cluster is kn_ab1234.

• If your local username for the university is vwxyz1234 and you are a user from the University of Freiburg this would combine to the following SSH command:

 ssh -l fr_vwxyz1234 <login>

• KIT users logging into bwUniCluster do not need to use a prefix, but if they are using a bwForCluster. If you are a KIT user and your username is pxd27239, your login names would be for the clusters:
  • bwUniCluster: pxd27239
  • bwForCluster: ka_pxd27239
