What is ZAS?
The Central Application Site (ZAS).The ZAS (Central Application Site) is a web interface of the bwHPC clusters to handle the user compute activities.
At the ZAS, you register your planned compute activities (RV, Rechenvorhaben).
Each RV has a responsible person (RV responsible) who applies for the compute activity (RV registration). A RV may have additional team members (managers and coworkers, RV collaboration).
The Cluster Assignment Team (CAT) assigns the exact cluster according to the RV requirement.

- may de-/reactivate team members,
- can renew passwords,
- may apply for further resources (if approved),
- has access to bwForCluster (if approval is valid).
There are additional manager rights: Managers are allowed to
- read team details,
- de-/reactivate coworkers.
- one certain bwForCluster,
- all team members,
- a period of one year after the approval.
The starting point for the registration of a RV at the ZAS is https://zas.bwhpc.de/en/zas_info_bwforcluster.php.
At "RV registration", the applicant (RV responsible) describes the research objective, the used methods and the required software packages. Additionally, the resource requirements have to be specified: CPU hours, memory, disk space, ...
After approval of the RV by the CAT, coworkers and managers register themselves under "RV Collaboration".
