Resource Usage

Balance and Billing

Billing is based on the used CPU core and/or GPU card hours on the supercomputer. Balance of the user’s projects (accounts) can be displayed using the sbalance command.

account	CPU-core Hour usage	CPU-core Hour limit	GPU-card Hour usage	GPU-card Hour limit
my_project_01	1578	50000	0	0
my_project_02	7765	100000	130	312

The second column shows the computing time used in the projects in CPU core hours. The fourth column shows the computing time (hours) used on the GPU cards. The account limits are indicated in the third (CPU core hours) and the fifth (GPU card hours) columns.

Total Consumption

The sreport command (which also in the background of the previous sbalance python script) can be used to query details of the consumption since a particular date:

A report can be created for each user and each resource for a given timeframe (of the given account):

sreport -t Hours Cluster AccountUtilizationByUser Accounts=<ACCOUNT> Start=2024-01-01 End=2024-02-01 --tres=cpu,gres/gpu

Further information can be found in the manpages for sreport.

Storage Quotas

Storage usage of the project and the limits (quotas) can be checked using the squota command. (See also the “Storage / Overview” chapter.)
