Free usage:
- Usage of up to 2000 core hours in a year will be provided for free.
- In addition, new users will be provided 1000 core hours free to get acclimatized with the system and for debugging purposes. These free hours will have to be used within the first month of usage.
- The above slabs are applicable for the CPU usage in the current SahasraT Cray XC40 system as well as the future systems, e.g., NSM system.
Modes of payment
Faculty can either make payments against usage or can make advance payments for future usage. For both kinds of payments, the payment form given in the link at the top of this page can be used.
