Registration/Login/Username

1 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.

1.1 Get your Username by adding a Prefix to your local Account Name

• 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 you are not a member of KIT, you also need to add a prefix.
• BUT: KIT users do not need to use a prefix on the bwUniCluster.

• If you are from Aalen University and your username is xyzs12342, your username for any bwHPC cluster is aa_xyzs12342.
• KIT users logging into a bwForCluster must use a prefix. If you are a KIT user and your username is pxd27239, your login name for a bwForCluster would be ka_pxd27239.
• If your KIT username is pxd27239,you can use the same username for the bwUniCluster.
