Project Portal

Beginning in 2024 all the HPC clusters of the GWDG are being unified in one consistent system.

Part of this unification is the HPC Project Portal. The Portal will be used to manage projects on the Scientific Compute Cluster (SCC), the NHR@Göttingen clusters Emmy and Grete, the KISSKI Platform, and others.

Academic Cloud

To get added to a portal project, you need to have a valid AcademicCloud account. All students and researchers of the University of Göttingen, the University Medical Center Göttingen and the Max Planck Institutes should already have a valid account. Researchers from many other institutions can also login via Federation from their home institute.

If none of this applies to you, you can also create an unaffiliated AcademicCloud account by registering with your email address and your account can then be added to a HPC project. Note that many other GWDG services will not be available for these self-registered accounts.

Project-specific Username

If you get added to a project, you will receive a project-specific login username via email. You can also see this login username in the portal itself if you navigate to any project you are a member of.

This project-specific username has to be used to access the HPC login nodes via SSH. Note that it is not valid for any non-HPC services of the GWDG, in particular it will not work with the GWDG VPN, the login.gwdg.de and transfer.gwdg.de servers, the Jupyter Cloud service or the samba filesharing service.

Please always include your project-specific username if you contact the support team.
