Compute Time Applications

Scientists from German public or government-approved universities can apply for various computing time contingents. Detailed information on different project sizes can be found on the website of the NHR Alliance.

Application for PREP-Projects

  • E.g., for getting started with HPC, porting applications or scalability analysis
  • maximum duration: six months
  • Application template (PDF, LaTeX, Word)

Guidelines

Guidelines for status/final reports

Once a project is completed, the applicant is required to submit a final or status report within three months after the end of the allocation period. Please use the provided templates (PDF, Word, or LaTeX). The report must not exceed two pages (font size: 11pt). Final/status reports and related publications should be uploaded to JARDS.

Acknowledgments

Papers, presentations, and other publications containing results obtained on the supercomputers that are part of the NHR@SW systems must include proper acknowledgements. The wording of the acknowledgement depends on the system used within the NHR@SW. Please choose the appropriate text from the list below.

NHR@SW projects on Goethe-NHR:
The authors gratefully acknowledge the computing time provided to them at the NHR Center NHR@SW at Goethe University Frankfurt (project number p0020XXX). This is funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research, and the state governments participating on the basis of the resolutions of the GWK for national high performance computing at universities (www.nhr-verein.de/unsere-partner).

NHR@SW projects on the Mogon systems:
The authors gratefully acknowledge the computing time provided to them at the NHR Center NHR@SW at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (project number p0020XXX). This is funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research, and the state governments participating on the basis of the resolutions of the GWK for national high performance computing at universities (www.nhr-verein.de/unsere-partner).

Reporting obligations

The principal investigator of the project also confirms that he/she accepts the reporting obligations for NHR@SW projects as given on the NHR@SW webpage. This includes a final report for a completed project which is due three months after the end of the allocation period and a status report for applications for project extensions.

Furthermore, the principal investigator of the project is obligated to provide contributions and information for the public reports in the context of NHR@SW upon request.
