# Project Application for using the High Performance Computers
In order to use the HPC systems installed at ZIH, an application form
has to be filled in. The project applications are reviewed by the
[
Scientific Advisory
Board
](
https://tu-dresden.de/zih/die-einrichtung/wissenschaftlicher-beirat
)
of the ZIH. The approval of the requested resources is always valid for
one year. The project duration for your project can span more than one
year, but the resources will be granted for each year individually.
**
The HPC project manager should hold a professorship (university) or
head a research group. The project manager is called to inform the ZIH
about any changes according the staff of the project (retirements, a
change to another institute).
\<
br /> (That is also regarding trial
accounts. And also trial accounts have to fill in the application
form.)
\<
br />
**
It is invariably possible to apply for more/different resources. Whether
additional resources are granted or not depends on the current
allocations and on the availablility of the installed systems.
The terms of use of the HPC systems are only
\<
a href="TermsOfUse"
target="

blank" title="NutzungsbedingungenHPC">available in German
\<
/a>
-
at the moment.
## Online Project Application
You may also apply for the "Schnupperaccount" (trial account) of up to
43.
000 CPU hours for one year (3500 CPUh per month). If you would like
to continue after this, a
**complete project application**
is required
(see below).
For obtaining access to the machines, the following forms have to be
filled in: 1 an
[
online
application
](
https://hpcprojekte.zih.tu-dresden.de/
)
form for the
project (one form per project). The data will be stored automatically in
a database.
\<
br />
\<
br /> 1 Users/guests at TU Dresden without a
ZIH-login have to fill in the following
\<
a

\<
br />To add members with a valid ZIH-login to your
project(s), please use this website:

Subsequent applications will be neccessary,
-
if the end of project is reached
-
if the applied resources won't be sufficient
The project leader and one person instructed by him, the project
administrator, should use
\<
a

\<

\<
br /> (ZIH-login neccessary)
\<
br />
\<
br /> At this website you have an overview of your projects, the usage
of resources, you can submit subsequent applications, and you are able
to add staff members to your project.
## Complete Project Application
Some reference points for an extended description of the application
form are:
-
Presentation of the problem and description of project content (with
references of publications)
-
Description of achieved preliminary work, pre-studies with results,
experiences
-
Description of target objectives and target cognitions
-
Description of physical and mathematical methods or solutions
-
An idea of resources you need (time, number of CPUs, parallel use of
CPUs)
-
1-2 figures are helpful to understand the description
#### Here are some templates in German/English and Word/LaTeX.

#### A small petition:
If you plan to publish a paper with results based on the used CPU hours
of our machines, please insert in the acknowledgement an small part with
thank for the support by the machines of the ZIH/TUD. (see example
below) Please send us a link/reference to the paper if it was puplished.
It will be very helpfull for the next acquirement of compute power.
Thank you very much.
Two examples:
-
The computations were performed on an Bull Cluster TAURUS at the
Center for Information Services and High Performance Computing (ZIH)
at TU Dresden.
-
or We thank the Center for Information Services and High Performance
Computing (ZIH) at TU Dresden for generous allocations of computer
time.
###
## Access for Lectures/Courses
You would like to use the clusters at ZIH for your courses? No
problem.
\<
br />Please initiate a normal project application (see above),
where you can tell us your wishes. In addition we need an application
for an HPC-login for the head of the course (also via link above).
Boundary conditions: 1 Teaching has uncomplicated access - but is
subordinate to research projects when resource problems occurs. 1 As
with all other projects, access is only possible with online project
application
\<
br
/>
<https://tu-dresden.de/zih/hochleistungsrechnen/zugang/projektantrag>
.
1 For courses, there is no need to deliver additional detailed project
description.
\<
br />(In exceptional cases, the ZIH reserves the right to
require a more detailed abstract.) 1 5.000 CPUh / month are possible
without additional communication. 1 More than 5.000h / month should be
possible after consulting the HPCSupport. 1 Post-iterations for 2.+3.
are also possible at any time by arrangement. 1 For immediate job
processing during classroom sessions (lecture, seminar) reservations are
absolutely necessary.
\<
br />They have to be submitted at least 8 days
before the appointment - via hpcsupport @ zih. tu-dresden. de
