The HPC Systems accessible by the bwHPC project are, as any supercomputer, considered dual-use commodities. General information in German is available by the BMBF, cf. https://www.bmbf.de/pub/supercomputer_und_exportkontrolle.pdf.
Therefore, any user seeking to bwUnicluster or bwForCluster has to comply with European and German law, specifically with the “Außenwirtschaftsgesetzes (AWG)” and the “Außenwirtschafts-Verordnung (AWV)”, cf. http://www.ausfuhrkontrolle.info.
The centers providing access will therefore request a commitment, e.g. a signature on a document, from the person responsible for the project running on the ressource.
