  2. Accounting • Charging of accounts: • Sus ( Service units or hours of compute time) • p655 (8-way) nodes are charged as follows: SUs = P x Wallclock_Hours x Num_Nodes x 8 • p690 (32-way) nodes are charged as follows: SUs = P x Wallclock_Hours x Num_Processors P= Priority (normal = 1; high = 2; express = 1.8) • On dsdirect: Number of SUs charged = P x 32 x Wallclock Hours x MAX(Np/32, M/Mmax) Np = No of processors, M = Memory used by job , Mmax = Max memory available on node (256GB)

  3. Checking your allocation balance • To determine the allocation usage for a single user: % reslist -u username • To determine the allocation usage for all users under a given account: % reslist -a grp000 • To determine the allocation usage for jobs run within a particular time period: % reslist -j -u username -a grp --begindate=mm-dd-yyyy -- enddate=mm-dd-yyyy

  4.

New: Storage Allocations • SDSC now making disk storage and database resources available via the merit-review process • SDSC Collections Disk Space • >200 TB of network-accessible disk for shared data collections • TeraGrid GPFS-WAN • ~200 TB parallel file system attached to several TG compute systems • Portion available for long-term storage allocations • SDSC Database • Dedicated disk/hardware for high-performance databases • Oracle, DB2, MySQL
