Location & approach

By car

The campus of TU Dortmund University is located close to interstate junction Dortmund West, where the Sauerlandlinie A 45 (Frankfurt-Dortmund) crosses the Ruhrschnellweg B 1 / A 40. The best interstate exit to take from A 45 is “Dortmund-Eichlinghofen” (closer to South Campus), and from B 1 / A 40 “Dortmund-Dorstfeld” (closer to North Campus). Signs for the university are located at both exits. Also, there is a new exit before you pass over the B 1-bridge leading into Dortmund.

To get from North Campus to South Campus by car, there is the connection via Vogelpothsweg/Baroper Straße. We recommend you leave your car on one of the parking lots at North Campus and use the H-Bahn (suspended monorail system), which conveniently connects the two campuses.

By train

TU Dortmund University has its own train station (“Dortmund Universität”). From there, suburban trains (S-Bahn) leave for Dortmund main station (“Dortmund Hauptbahnhof”) and Düsseldorf main station via the “Düsseldorf Airport Train Station” (take S-Bahn number 1, which leaves every 15 or 30 minutes). The university is easily reached from Bochum, Essen, Mülheim an der Ruhr and Duisburg.

You can also take the bus or subway train from Dortmund city to the university: From Dortmund main station, you can take any train bound for the Station “Stadtgarten”, usually lines U41, U45, U 47 and U49. At “Stadtgarten” you switch trains and get on line U42 towards “Hombruch”. Look out for the Station “An der Palmweide”. From the bus stop just across the road, busses bound for TU Dortmund University leave every ten minutes (445, 447 and 462). Another option is to take the subway routes U41, U45, U47 and U49 from Dortmund main station to the stop “Dortmund Kampstraße”. From there, take U43 or U44 to the stop “Dortmund Wittener Straße”. Switch to bus line 447 and get off at “Dortmund Universität S”.

By plane

The AirportExpress is a fast and convenient means of transport from Dortmund Airport (DTM) to Dortmund Central Station, taking you there in little more than 20 minutes. From Dortmund Central Station, you can continue to the university campus by interurban railway (S-Bahn). A larger range of international flight connections is offered at Düsseldorf Airport (DUS), which is about 60 kilometres away and can be directly reached by S-Bahn from the university station.

The H-Bahn (Suspended Monorail System)

The H-Bahn is one of the hallmarks of TU Dortmund University. There are two stations on North Campus. One (“Dortmund Universität S”) is directly located at the suburban train stop, which connects the university directly with the city of Dortmund and the rest of the Ruhr Area. Also from this station, there are connections to the “Technologiepark” and (via South Campus) Eichlinghofen. The other station is located at the dining hall at North Campus and offers a direct connection to South Campus every five minutes.

Map

The facilities of TU Dortmund University are spread over two campuses, the larger Campus North and the smaller Campus South. Additionally, some areas of the university are located in the adjacent “Technologiepark”.

Overview of the public partitions

Partition	Max Walltime	Comment
short	02:00:00	-
med	08:00:00	-
long	48:00:00	-
ultralong	672:00:00	No GPU or "non-blocking node usable"

Furthermore, certain node requirements (constraints or features) can be specified when generating the job.

Overview of the most important node features (note that by default only 512 MB RAM is available per core. Usually some gigabytes of the main memory are already occupied by the operating system and therefore cannot be allocated by Slurm. A typical resource request should therefore always request a few gigabytes less than are physically available in the machine):

Constraint	CPU type	Accelerator type	Max Cores	Max RAM/Knoten	Comment
cstd01	2x Intel Xeon E5-2640v4	-	20	64 GB
cstd02 oder ib_1to1	2x Intel Xeon E5-2640v4	-	20	64 GB	non-blocking
cquad01	4x Intel Xeon E5-4640v4	-	48	256 GB
cquad02	4x Intel Xeon E5-4640v4	-	48	1024 GB

cgpu01 oder tesla_k40	2x Intel Xeon E5-2640v4	2x NVIDIA Tesla K40 (12 GB)	20	64 GB

The following nodes have been acquired subsequently from third parties and are only available to the general public to a limited extent, i.e. the job runtime is restricted to a maximum of two hours.

In particular, these nodes are not accessed via the usual partitions short/med/long but have their own partition and no other special constraints such as cstd01.
