The way that your wallet is charged for the usage of SURF Research Cloud resources depends on the type of contract that backs up your wallet.

Contracts and budgets are generally issued for a specific cloud provider (SURF HPC Cloud, Azure, AWS ...). In order to see how your usage will affect your budget, look for the section on the cloud provider you use.

SURF HPC Cloud

NWO Pilots (E-Infra)

Compute resources

With E-Infra grants, we do not calculate in Dollars or Euros but in "credits". One credit pays for the usage of one core (CPU) for one hour of "wall clock time". One hour of GPU usage is charged with five credits.

Each E-Infra grant provides your project with a total of 50000 credits for compute-resources.

Storage

For E-Infra, the amount of granted storage is fixed. It is 2 Terabytes for one year.

RCCS contracts

For RCCS contracts between your institute and SURF, the billing of compute resources and storage depends on the individual contract. Please contact your own institute or SURF customer support about these contract details.
