New bwJupyterHub available

As of now, the new bwJupyterHub for teaching is available to all lecturers and students in Baden-Württemberg. For more information, please follow bwjupyter.de .

The JupyterHub used during the pilot phase in the winter term 24/25 will no longer accept new users and wind down its services in the coming weeks. Please secure your data and move to hub.bwjupyter.de. 

General information

Jupyter is a web application that provides users with access to computing environments and resources without burdening them with installation and maintenance tasks.

In the current version of the service, three different environments are available to the user:

• Basic Python package
• Data science environment with Python, R and Julia
• GPU-Jupyter for computationally intensive AI models with TensorFlow and PyTorch

Basic and DS-notebook: max. 1 GB RAM, max. 4 CPU-Cores nutzbar, approx. 0,25 CPU-Cores

GPU-notebook: 1/7 of the computing power and 10 GB of the memory of an NVIDIA A100 GPU, maximum 16 GB host memory

After requesting a resource, the user ends up in a Jupyterlab environment. Further information on the benefits and functions of the Jupyterlab interface can be found under this link.

A central component of Jupyter is the Jupyter Notebook. This is a document that can simultaneously contain formatted continuous text, executable code sections and (interactive) visualizations (image, sound, video, 3D views). Further information on the Jupyter Notebook can be found under this link.

Organizational requirements

During the pilot phase, the service is only available to students and lecturers of selected courses.

In order to use the service, an Ilias course must be created in advance in which all students register. In this Ilias course, a list of participants can be exported in the "Members" tab via the option "Export participant data" and the button "Start CSV export". Please activate the selection fields "Administrators", "Tutors", "Participants" and "User name" in the "Export settings" and then click on "Start CSV export". Then download the export and send us this CSV file by e-mail. We need this information to be able to activate the users for the service.

Once a user has been activated, they will be redirected to the registration page when they log in for the first time and can use the service once they have successfully registered.

Technical requirements

KIT user account, internet access
