For Project Supervisors
This topic contains information for supervisors of individual Bachelor's and Master's thesis projects who want their students to use the cluster.
Important Restrictions
Please read carefully:
- This is a shared cluster, primarily for courses. GPU count and time per student as well as storage is limited.
- The cluster is down for maintenance in the week before each semester starts. This is non-negotiable. The supervisor and student have to account for this when planning the project schedule.
- Project length is limited to six months.
- For technical and administrative reasons a student can only do one project concurrently.
Projects
The following
project tags with predefined resources and restrictions are available.
All students are added to
projects and
projects_jupyter (for
Jupyter) by default with the above GPU hours as time budget. Changes are possible but need to be justified:
- Addition to
projects_4gpus can be requested separately for students who need multiple GPUs for technical reasons and not performance.
- The number of GPU hours can be increased moderately.
Access for Supervisors
Supervisors also get access to the cluster but without CPU and GPU hours.
Data
Students will get a home directory with 20GB space which will also be used for courses that they take.
In addition a work directory under
/work/projects will be provided. The work directory will be named after the login name of the student. Default size is 20GB. More can be requested with a justification. Maximum size is 100GB. The directory will be deleted when the project ends.
The supervisor of a student automatically gets read and write access to the work directory.
Request
To request access for a student a supervisor (not the student) can send a mail to
our service desk with the following text:
Subject: Access to student cluster for student project
