To apply for a user account / Nutzungskennung please consider the following information, then proceed with the steps of the Application Process.

The following limitations apply when using NHR resources:

  1. The NHR regulations limit the access to NHR resources to scientists at German universities (see NHR Alliance, Computing Time / NHR-Verein, Rechnernutzung).
  2. Due to export control, the NHR systems are not accessible for people originating from certain countries. For details, please read the document Supercomputer und Exportkontrolle of the BMBF.

Holding a user account you can

  • perform test simulations to prepare a proposal for a compute project and
  • use the resources, such as compute time and storage quota, which are granted to projects (cf. Apply for a Compute Project).

Compute time of a user account

Holding a user account you are able to work on the compute systems at NHR-NORD@Göttingen, and to expend compute time.

  • The user account is attached to a personal account holding a limited amount of computing time, see Accounting for details.
  • With the user account you have access to the accounts of all compute projects in which the user account is a member in.
