Resource units

Resource units for EIDF services.

Where we measure things for cost purposes we use the following units:

  • Storage on EIDF is currently granted in units of GiB, where 1 GiB is 1,048,576 kB.
  • Computing time on the Ultra2 large-memory service is measured by the core-hour. 1 Ultra2 core-hour is the equivalent of 1 physical core used for 1 hour.
  • Computing time on the GPU cluster, Cerebras accelerator and Graphcore systems are measured differently. Contact us for details.
