The GWDG offers two systems for high-performance computing; the Scientific Compute Cluster (SCC) and Emmy.<\/p>\n

Scientific Compute Cluster – SCC<\/h2>\n
\n

For researchers of the Max Planck Society and University of G\u00f6ttingen<\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The tier-3 Scientifc Compute Cluster is operated for researchers of the Max Planck Society<\/strong> and University of G\u00f6ttingen<\/strong>, which have permanent access to the SCC. In case your institute has custom requirements, we also offer housing and hosting options (see FAQ).<\/p>\n

Technical details, detailed documentation, and further help can be found on our website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In case more compute resources are required, we recommend applying for an account at the NHR alliance<\/a> (see next section Emmy<\/strong>).<\/p>\n

<\/a>Emmy<\/h2>\n
\n

In the scope of the NHR alliance which aims to support researchers at German universities<\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Our tier-2 HPC system Emmy is open to all researchers at German universities<\/strong> (see diagram below for more details). Before using this cluster, one needs to apply at the NHR alliance. Detailed information can be found on the website<\/a> of the NHR Alliance. If your project was granted by a funding organization on our allowlist (see FAQ), we offer a shortened proposal format<\/a>. The first step is to apply for a personal user account<\/a>.<\/p>\n

FAQ<\/h2>\n

<\/a>Can students access our HPC systems?<\/h3>\n

Unfortunately, students cannot in general access the HPC resources without being affiliated with a German research institute (e.g., bachelor thesis, master thesis). Students who are working on thesis projects at the University of G\u00f6ttingen or Max Planck Society, can request a GWDG account that is affiliated with the institute of their supervisor. However, there are courses on High Performance Computing which are also open to students. A good starting point for new HPC users is the workshop Using the GWDG Scientific Compute Cluster<\/a> offered at the GWDG Academy.<\/p>\n
