With the launch of the bwUniCluster in Karlsruhe the bwGRiD location at the KIT will be closed on 10 February 2014.

After five years of operation the bwGRiD-Cluster in Karlsruhe will be closed

Due to the launch of the bwUniCluster on 10 February 2014 (see also the announcement on our homepage) the bwGRiD location in Karlsruhe will be closed on 10 February 2014 after five years of operation. This date will mark the deactivation and disposal of the bwGRiD Cluster as well as the integration of the bwUniCluster in the field of high performance computing in Karlsruhe.

Implications for users of the bwGRiD Cluster in Karlsruhe

The directories $HOME and WORKSPACE will be accessible until 28 February 2014. Users are asked to remove all data and programs before 28 February 2014!

Please abide by this deadline as data and programs will not be accessible after this date!

Users who have previously relied on the bwGRiD location in Karlsruhe can resort to the remaining bwGRiD resources or the bwUniCluster!

Please contact us with any questions or concerns via our contact form or e-mail. We are happy to help with moving to and accessing alternative cluster resources.

Many thanks to the Karlsruhe team

Freiburg’s bwGRiD Team would like to use the occasion to thank our colleagues from bwGRiD in Karlsruhe for great collaboration. We are looking forward to the new computer systems, above all the impressive bwUniCluster!
