Hotel program details

Hotel computing provides flexibility to purchase time on compute resources without the necessity to buy a node. This pay–as–you–go model is convenient for researchers with temporary or bursty compute needs. The hotel cluster includes both CPU and GPU servers. The CPU servers feature a combination of Intel Cascade and Skylake nodes, while the GPU servers comprise a variety of GPUs, including multiple V100s, one A100, and one P100.

Note: The units in the table below are in core hours. Though CPU/GPU hotel rates are the same, GPUs have a higher charge factor to reflect the higher performance compared to CPU.
