• We can walk through rates and scenarios, as appropriate.
• We can meet with them since they may be willing to do more with a commitment of $25K than is published with their $400 min. offering.

Buy cycles, on demand.

Good for irregular workhigh-performance demands, especially if have high peaks of need and long-lasting jobs.

• Buy cycles from CAC (RedCloud, minimum of $400 for 8585 core*hours
  • 12 cores available at any one time on one system.
    • Can access more than one system at a time, but systems are not linked.
  • $400 (minimum) buys you 8585 core*hours , which is
    • This comes out to ~1 core for an entire year, non-stop.
  • For 96 cores, that's $38.4K for 1 year, non-stop.
    • 96 = 8 nodes, each with dual 6-core procs => 8 * 12 = 96
  • Or, for $25K, that's 53~536,656.2 562 cores*hours.
    • $25K = $400*62.5 units. And each unit is 8585 core*hours. So,, so 62.5 of them gets you 536,562.5 cores*hours.

• Determine costs, processes, and trade-offs if use another cloud service, such as:
  • Amazon. Amazon AC3?
  • Google. ComputerGoogle Compute?
