In the NERSC 2024 allocation year, GPU jobs run in the regular queue using 128 nodes or more and CPU jobs run in the regular queue using 256 nodes or more receive a “big job” discount of 50% cost reduction. For example, a qualifying job using 2,000 node-hours will be charged only 1,000 node-hours.
Jobs run in queues other than regular or in a reservation are not eligible for the discount.
This discount will be retroactively applied to jobs run since the start of the 2024 allocation year and will continue through the end of the allocation year.
