Getting An Account
There are multiple High Performance Computing (HPC) systems hosted in Göttingen that are available to different groups of users.
NHR@Göttingen
KISSKI
Applying for KISSKI resources requires a request for a specific service, which is listed on KISSKI Services page. An application can be started by clicking on the “book” button. Selected offers are:
- Compute resources
- Chat-AI
- Secure HPC
- Secure container
- Protein structure prediction
- Secure data catalogues
Further services, including consulting and development services, can be found in the KISSKI service catalogue. More details about the application for compute resources and Chat-AI can be found in the KISSKI application process.
Scientific Compute Cluster (SCC)
Access to the HPC system is managed via the HPC Project Portal.
It is designed to allow project leaders to manage access to the project’s resources (compute, storage), add or remove members and more. Each leader of a work group, institute or faculty at the Georg-August University of Göttingen or the Max Planck society is eligible to request a long-running, generic project in the HPC Project Portal to grant HPC access to their employees and PhD Students. To collaborate with externals or people not employed by your institute, please request dedicated HPC Portal projects for each “real-world” research project. Similarly, for students who would like to use HPC resources for their theses, the supervisor should request an HPC project.
See Applying for HPC Portal projects on the SCC for more information.
Restrictions
Please note that our ability to grant access to the HPC system is subject to export control regulations.
