HPC Compute servers
  • CPU 0.012 EUR/core h or
  • Memory 0.012 EUR/6GB/h.
  • GPU 0.5 EUR/GPU/h.

  • Memory usage is calculated by 6 GB segments.
    Price depends on the use of which resource is greater. Accounting of the use the computing servers is based on the amount of memory (with 1 unit being equal to 6 GB of RAM/h) and processors (with 1 unit being equal to 1 core/h) allocated to the user’s job(s).

  • When determining the order of starting compute jobs, jobs with higher priority are given preference.

Storage space
  • Storage 80 EUR/1TB/year
  • In case of 2x replicated data, 160 EUR/1TB/year.
  • A copy stored on tape costs 30 EUR/1TB/year.
  • Replicated + tape stored data costs 190 EUR/1TB/year.

  • Usable protocols are Samba, NFS, dsmc (TSM command line tool) and direct usage from HPC cluster.
    If looking for simpler access protocols, S3 is a better option.

LUMI (Large Unified Modern Infrastructure)
  • CPU 0.008 EUR/core h
  • GPU 0.35 EUR/core h
  • User home directory: free
  • Project storage (persistent and scratch) 0.0106 EUR/TB/h
  • Storage Flash based scratch storage is billed at the rate 10 x 0.0106 EUR/TB/h
Virtual Machine (Cloud service)
  • CPU 0.003 EUR/core h
  • GPU 0.5 EUR/GPU/h.
  • Memory 0.0013 EUR/1GB/h
  • Storage SSD storage 0.138 EUR/1TB/h

  • Billing is the sum of resources booked for the virtual private cloud (VPC), which can contain 1 or more virtual machines (VM). For example, in case of a VPC of m.xsmall flavor with 1 processor core, 1GB of ram and 10GB of SSD storage space allocated for it, will cost 1*0.003*24*365 = 26 euros per year for the CPU and 1*0.0013*24*365 = 11 euros per year for RAM and 1/10*0.138*24*365 = 120 euros per year for the storage space.
