Registration/Login/Username

Login Username

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.

Users from the KIT, don't need a prefix on the bwUniCluster.

To find out your login username, you have to select one of the following:

• I want to login to a bwForCluster OR I want to login to the bwUniCluster and I'm not from the KIT.
  → Username for a bwHPC Cluster
• I'm from the KIT AND I want to login to the bwUniCluster.
  → Exception for the Username on the bwUniCluster for KIT Users

Alternatively, you can find out your username on a cluster by visiting the registration service.

Username for a bwHPC Cluster

If you want to use a bwForcluster you need to add a prefix to your local username. If you want to use the bwUniCluster and are not a user from the KIT you will need to add a prefix as well. Ysers from the KIT who want to login to the bwUniCluster should refer to this section.
