HPC Compute servers
CPU
0.012 €/core h
Memory
0.012 €/6 GB/h
GPU
0.5 €/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 €/1 TB/year
In case of 2x replicated data
160 €/1 TB/year
A copy stored on tape
30 €/1 TB/year
Replicated + tape stored data
190 €/1 TB/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.

0.35 €/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

CPU
0.003 €/core h
Memory

GPU
0.5 €/GPU/h
Storage SSD
0.138 €/1 TB/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.

Large (>500 users)
349 €/month
Hosting includes backups, availability monitoring, upgrades and integration with UT HPC helpdesk. Billing is once a year at the beginning of the billing period (the minimum contract period is one year). If, during the billing period, the number of users increases, the next bill will include the additional fee from the past period (the difference between pricing tiers). There is no refund for unused seats.
Prices are established in accordance with Tartu Regulation No. 3-1/AT/267 of 29.12.2023 and are valid from 29 December 2023. The financial source of income is ELTATHPC. The head of the HPC Center, Ivar Koppel, is responsible for billing. Outside the University of Tartu, 22% VAT is added to the prices.
