User Accounts and Login#

To get an account on the KI4All cluster, you need to enrol to the respective StudIP courses of the lecture or exercise during which the KI4All cluster is used. Your enrollment in StudIP provides your lecturer with the required registration data. Students who are using the cluster in their project or thesis need to contact their advisor.

The terms of use can be downloaded here (in German): https://www.tu-braunschweig.de/irmb/lehre

For Lectures#

To activate the access for your students, lectures need to email the times of the course and a csv file with the user information in the following format to the KI4All system administration ki4all-cluster@tu-braunschweig.de:

GITZ ID,family_name,first_name,user_group,namespace

Users are clustered into three user groups by setting an appropriate keyword for user_group:

  • extern: Access to CPU node (Juypyterhub)

  • intern: as extern, plus additional access to 3 Nvidia A100 80GB GPUs

  • betreiber: as intern, plus additional access to 5 Nvidia A100 80GB GPUs (only for iRMB members!) The GPU queuing is explained in the section on GPU computations.

Within each user group, a namespace is defined by setting an appropriate keyword for namespace:

  • lvinstitute (e.g. lvirmb). The prefix lv indicates that the access of the user is restricted to a specific lecture (lv: Lehrveranstaltung). User accounts in this namespace will be deleted biannually on March 31 and September 30 without prior notice. Users are responsible to have their data saved on external storages!

  • institute (e.g. irmb). The access of these users is linked to the validity of their GITZ ID. An institute namespace is reserved to lecturers only!

The minimal example below shows a csv file with the required information of students who need access to the CPU node (Jupyterhub) during a lecture of the iRMB:

y111111,Musterfrau,Erika,extern,lvirmb
y222222,Musterfrau,Max,extern,lvirmb
