A VCN is a set of flexible &ldquo;bare-metal&rdquo; compute resources that are purchased equating to the price of a comparably equipped current configuration, new compute node. VCN resources are utilized by a PI group through a combination of high-priority Quality of Service (QoS) as well as when needed Slurm reservations.<\/p>\n<p>The current compute node price is $10,500 and includes the following configuration:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Dual socket, 32 core CPU<\/li>\n<li>256GB memory<\/li>\n<li>500GB local disk<\/li>\n<li>HDR100 infiniband interconnect<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The current price for a VCN is $2,100 per fiscal year. ARC can accommodate pre-pays of VCN resources for up to 5 years.<\/p>\n<p>The VCN resources will provide the highest priority access to compute node resources and will preempt &ldquo;free&rdquo; as well as bypass normal fairshare jobs in the Slurm queue. In addition, ARC will provide a Slurm reservation equivalent VCN resource where needed as the need arises.<\/p>\n\n\n    <\/body><\/html>\n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n        <!-- shortcode-accordion -->\n<div class=\"shortcode-accordion shortcode-accordion--closed\" style=\"position: relative;\" >\n        <a class=\"shortcode-accordion__trigger\" data-header=\"External Researchers_3\" href=\"#\">\n      <div class=\"shortcode-accordion__header\">\n          <h4>External Researchers <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Accordion Closed<\/span><\/h4>\n          <span class=\"shortcode-accordion__header__arrow\"><\/span>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/a>\n    <div class=\"shortcode-accordion__body\">\n        <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\">\n<html><body>\n\n<h2>External Researchers<\/h2>\n\n<table id=\"tablepress-15\" class=\"tablepress tablepress-id-15\">\n<thead>\n<tr class=\"row-1\">\n\t<th class=\"column-1\">Resource<\/th><th class=\"column-2\">Price<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody class=\"row-striping row-hover\">\n<tr class=\"row-2\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">CPU<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">$0.13\/Core Hour<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-3\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">K80 (GPU)<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">$.25\/Core Hour<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-4\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">P100 (GPU)<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">$.35\/Core Hour<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-5\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">V100 (GPU)<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">$.75\/Core Hour<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-6\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">A100 (GPU)<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">$1.50\/Core Hour<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-7\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Long-Term Storage<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">$58\/TB\/Year<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-8\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">High-Speed Storage<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">$63\/TB\/Year<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n    <\/body><\/html>\n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n    <\/div>\n<\/p>\n<!-- shortcode-button -->\n<div class=\"shortcode-button shortcode-button--center\">\n      <a class=\"main-button\" href=\"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/arc\/contact-us\/\">Contact Advanced Research Computing<\/a>\n  <\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pricing Monsoon is a free resource for researchers at NAU, but we also offer our resources for researchers outside the university at the prices shown below.
