Apply for a Compute Project
Application Types
You can apply for two different types of projects, to a Test Project and to a Compute Project with the following properties.
| Application | Compute Time Grant | Compute time per quarter [coreh] | Review process | Call | link to application |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Test Project | User account and enough compute time for smaller projects and/or preparation | <= 300k | Only a user account and a request to nhr-support@gwdg.de are required, cf. Application Process. N.B.: NHR Starter application preferred | rolling | User Account |
| Compute Project | Normal | 300k - 5M | Scientific board of NHR@ZIB, NHR@Göttingen or Whitelist (simplified review by Scientific board, DFG/BMBF/NHR/GCS/EU grant required) | quarterly | JARDS NHR Normal |
| Compute Project | Large-scale (“Großprojekt”) | >=5 Mcoreh (CPUs) / >=6.25 kGPUh (GPU) | Scientific board + NHR panel (“Nutzungsausschuss”) | quarterly | JARDS NHR Large |
NHR Starter
For getting started on the NHR system, it is recommended to submit a JARDS NHR Starter application (select NHR@Göttingen as the preferred site). You will get access under the same conditions as with a Test Project. However, the additional metadata, such as your field of research, short project description and required software will help us to better understand your requirements.
Application Process
Project proposals for a Compute Project have to be submitted via the portal JARDS.
- Our Guide to filling out offers assistance to go through JARDS.
- One significant point on JARDS is to upload the main proposal document. To prepare this main proposal document we suggest to use the Proposal Format which is used for NHR@ZIB and NHR-NORD@Göttingen since both centers collaborate for the technical and scientific evaluation of compute time projects.
Deadlines and schedule
Compute Project proposals can be submitted via JARDS at all times. In the quarter with the submission deadline (cf. below) the review process takes place . The project starts with the quarter following the review phase and is granted for a lifetime of 12 months.
Submission deadlines are 15th of January, April, July, and October. This applies to NHR-Nord@Göttingen and is an extension of the default NHR deadline.
In case of a positive review, compute resources applied for before the deadline 15th of January 2024, 23:59 are granted starting first of April 2025.
