Apply for a HPC Project

After you were approved as a Project Manager you can apply for research projects on Elysium by downloading and filling out the project application form. The application is required for managing the fair share of computing resources, and for reporting to the HPC-Beirat, Funding organizations, etc. There is no peer-review process and your project is automatically accepted. Note that more projects do not mean more computing resources. Your personal resources are shared between all you projects.

RUB LoginID: This is your RUB-LoginID.

Project Name: Name under which your project should be listed in any report.

Abstract: A short 2-3 line abstract outlining the contents of your research project.

Field of Science: Identification number according to DFG subject classification system.

Third-party funded: Optional field for research projects with third party funding. E.g. Funding institution, or project number

RUB LoginIDs: Comma separated list of RUB-LoginIDs of the people you want to participate in this project. (Note that the project manager’s LoginID is not automatically included in the participant list. If you, as a project manager, want to participate in your own project, you must enter your Login ID as well.)

Contingent: From the dropdown menu select the computing resources contingent of your project. If you did not participated in the HPC cluster application you need to select “Miscellaneous User Groups”, or get permission by the members of the other contingents to use their resources.

After you correctly filled out the form save the PDF as Project-Application_<loginID>_<number>.pdf e.g. Project-Application_mamuster_5.pdf, where the number 5 refers to the fifth project application that was send in by you, and send it via email to hpc+applications@ruhr-uni-bochum.de
