Full glossary
  • HPC as a service (HPCaaS) : High-performance computing consumed on demand rather than owned: request compute for one run, stop paying when it ends. No hardware, no scheduler to run.
  • Billing period : The interval over which an organization’s compute usage is accumulated and charged.
  • Organization : The top-level account that owns one or more workspaces and is the unit of billing. Members belong to an organization and hold roles within it.
  • Pricing plan : The tier assigned to a workspace, which governs its resource limits and concurrency: how much can run, and how much can run at once.
  • Usage : Accumulated compute consumed by an organization in a billing period, shown against plan limits on the dashboard.
  • Idle cluster : A cluster still running after its work finished. It bills at the full rate, and is the largest avoidable cost for most organizations.
