Service description

bwJupyter provides a central JupyterHub for lecturers and students. Registration takes place via the state-wide identity management system bwIDM. Manual activation is not required.

bwJupyter provides the required computing resources. Each user receives 8 GB of RAM and 2 GB of disk storage. NVIDIA L40S graphics cards (GPUs) are provided for computationally intensive operations.

Lecturers can create their own profiles on the JupyterHub. This allows materials to be shared with students. bwJupyter already provides various environments with pre-installed packages and dependencies. Lecturers can also specify their own environments in the form of Docker images.

A detailed description and documentation on how to use the service is provided on the Documentation page.
