An HPC account provides access to Sol, a 8587-node condo cluster for research. A faculty member may obtain access to Sol by purchasing a minimum allocation of 50,000 core-hours or service units (SU) for $500. Additional allocations can be purchased in increments of 10,000 SUs for $100 each. An allocation cycle begins on Oct. 1 and ends on Sep. 30 of the next year and will not roll over to the next allocation cycle. At launch, there are 1,400,000 SUs available per allocation cycle. Faculty members who require more computing time or want a guaranteed share of total available computing time annually should consider a Condo Investment.
