¹: Rates for UPF, PRBB Labs & UPF group Institutions. Consumptions lesser than 10€ or 10% of the cost of month consumption will be assumed by the Department for UPF labs.

²: Rates for extern institutions.

³: Calculated based on average daily use throughout month per laboratory.

⁴: The packs have to get in advance and they expire in two years since their activation date.

⁵: Calculated based on the amount of time a job has been computing within a core using 8GB of RAM. 
If a job is using more than one core or 8GB of RAM the price will be multiplied by the number of cores or
number of 8GB blocks of RAM in use.

⁶: Computing time of different jobs will be added together for the final calculation.

⁷: Cost calculated at the end of the month (30 days), jobs still being processed by the cluster will be
charged for computing time up to that moment, with the remainder being charged the following month.
If a job lasts multiple months, laboratories will be charged per month.
