The usage of bwForCluster is free of charge, but your computations must fit to the research focus of a bwForCluster, in particular, since each bwForCluser is/will be 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 your ''compute project'' at [https://www.bwhpc-c5.de/ZAS/zas_uebersicht.php "Zentrale Antragsseite (ZAS)"],
# Application for bwForCluster entitlement issued by your university,
# Personal registration at assigned cluster site based on approved compute project and issued bwForCluster entitlement.

<br>
Step 1 and 2 are pre-steps and requirements of step 3. Moreover, steps 1 and 2 can be done in parallel. At which bwForCluster site you can do step 3 will be decided by the cluster assignment team (CAT) based on the data of step 1, i.e. at ZAS.


= Compute project registration at ZAS =

A compute project registration at ZAS does '''NOT''' correspond to typical compute project proposals as for other HPC clusters, since:
* there is no scientific reviewing process
* the registration inquires only brief details
* it covers a group of coworkers and
* only the project responsible must submit it.

== How to register? ==

=== Compute project ===


=== Coworkers ===


=== Resource extension ===


= Issueing bwForCluster entitlement =

Each university issues the bwForCluster entitlement only for their own members. Details on the issuing process and/or the entitlement application forms are listed hereafter:
* Albert Ludwig University of Freiburg
* Eberhard Karls University of Tübingen
* Karlsruhe Institute of Technology
* Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg
* [[BwForCluster User Access Members Uni Ulm|Ulm University]]
* University of Hohenheim
* University of Konstanz
* University of Mannheim
* University of Stuttgart


= Personal registration at bwForCluster =

Once you have registered your compute project at ZAS by filling a short online form, the cluster assignment team will provide you with information about your designated bwForCluster - basically providing your with the correct website to finally register yourself for the designated cluster.

Please note, this step is different to your registration at ZAS since here you do not register your compute project but yourself as person. Only based on your personal credentials a user account can be generated. However, given resource requests for compute project at the ZAS will be crosschecked with the consumed resources by you and your coworkers of the compute project.


After step 1 and 2, i.e., approval of your compute project and issued bwForCluster entitlement, please visit:
* Cluster registration website (details given by CAT)
*# Select your home organization from the list and click '''Proceed'''
*# You will be directed to the ''Identity Provider'' of your home organisation
*# Enter your home-organisational user ID / username and your home-organisational password and click '''Login''' button
*# You will be redirected back to the cluster registration website
*# <div>Select '''bwForCluster Service Description''' (on the left hand side)
*# Click '''Register'''
*# Finally
*#* '''optionally''' set a service password for authentication on bwForCluster
