Leslie Kinsland, Ealick's group, manages CU's SBGrid software licensing.

Notes

7/14/15

Cost summary:

  • $312/ yr for 7 groups => $44.57/yr each group
  • $312/ yr for 6 groups => $52.00/yr each group (no Ealick)
  • $312/ yr for 5 groups => $62.40/yr each group (no Ealick, nor Crane)

Idea one:

  • Determine if Ealick's group wants to use the service. Get an account number if they say yes.
  • Discuss with Crane to have him hopefully approve service option (and presumably migrate to it), and get an account number.
  • Confirm with Cerione and get account number.

Idea two: CCB pays centrally so anyone in the CCB who is in the consortium gets access to campus-hosted SB Grid application server run by James VanEe.

  • ChemIT covers the cost of $133.71/yr for all 3 groups.
  • Then, Cerione, Crane, and Ealick can use the service, but don't have to.
  • Lower administrative cost.

Idea: Consortium pays so anyone in the consortium gets access to campus-hosted SB Grid application server run by James VanEe.

The numbers:

  • 7 SBGrid members currently enrolled: Cerione, Chappie, Crane, Ealick, Fromme, Kawate, and Sondermann.
  • The costs of providing the sbgrid hosting service are $312/year (total).

2013

CCB has a “master” server in each of Ealick, Cerione, and Crane areas

8/28/13, from Leslie: Our licensing from Harvard is for the period July 1 - June 30 and is based on the number of institutional users, currently 6 (at $1,716/group). If we add an additional user, the total cost increases, but the cost per user decreases, theoretically generating a rebate to the current members. (...)CRCF has been in charge of the actual software implementation within chemistry. Hopefully Atillio left records on the logistics involved. If not, James Van Ee <jiv2>, who manages it for the members in Weill and the Vet School might be able to give you some pointers on the setup.
