The 2020-21 rates for the Armis2 cluster have been approved. These rates represent cost recovery for the Armis2 Cluster, and do not include any support your unit may choose to provide.
| Partition | Rate Per Minute | Rate Per Month | CPU Cores | Memory Unit | GPU Unit |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| standard/debug/viz | $0.000290046 | $12.53 | 1 | 7 gigabytes | N/A |
| largemem | $0.000803704 | $34.72 | 1 | 26.89 gigabytes | N/A |
| gpu | $0.002815741 | $121.64 | 5 | 15 gigabytes | 1 |
The monthly rate is based on a 30-day month; per-minute rates are included for reference. Charges are based on the percentage of the machine your job requests (in terms of the amount of cores, memory, and GPUs) and its actual runtime.
The Medical School and the College of Engineering (while funds last) will cost-share 44% of the Armis 2 rates for sponsored research accounts for researchers in these units who are paying to use Armis 2 on unit Shortcodes. The School of Public Health and the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts both offer an 80% cost-share or sponsored research accounts for researchers in these units who are paying to use Armis 2 on unit Shortcodes
ARC is working on providing a command-line and web-based method to calculate job charges to assist you in cost estimation.
