Fee Structure @ Frontenac
Frontenac serves as our main compute cluster and is operated through the SLURM scheduler. Until March 31, allocations from the 2018 Resource Allocation Competition of Compute Canada, are running on this cluster. The cluster is not among the allocatable systems for the 2019 Compute Canada allocation round ("RAC2019"). Therefore, the operation of Frontenac will be on a cost-recovery basis from April 1, 2019. This page provides details about the fee structure.
Compute and Storage
The new fee structure for the Frontenac Compute cluster applies both to the usage of CPU's and for storage on disk and tape. The fees are raised per annum basis, but can be pro-rated to a shorter duration without penalty. The standard units are :
| Type | Unit | Explanation |
| CPU usage | core-year (cyr) |

| April 1, 2019 |

| July 1, 2019 |
