GWDG now provides a Jupyter-Hub instance that is connected to the GWDG Scientific Compute Cluster. This instance provides two usage modes:

1.) Standard mode: This usage mode is useful, if your Jupyter notebooks are too resource demanding for our standard Jupyter-Hub instance or require access to large data sets.

2.) Parallel mode: You can use parallelization with IPython Parallel in your notebooks and make use of large numbers of nodes for truly demanding workflows.
