Introduction to courses » "Queues (Resource groups/Job classes)" is here

On Miyabi supercomputer system, Tokens, which is the number of hours that compute nodes can be used for, are assigned corresponding to the course of use and number of nodes applied for. Batch jobs can be executed up to the maximum number of nodes that can be used, and within the number of tokens assigned (with the exception of some courses and services).

Please read the following points to be noted when using the tokens. For a detailed explanation and FAQs about tokens, please refer to the page "Tokens".

Notes on using tokens

  • Tokens are consumed for the execution of each batch job (with the exception of batch jobs that make use of interactive nodes).
  • Tokens are consumed for the amount of time calculated through “Time lapsed × Number of nodes or Number of instances (MIG) × Consumption coefficient.”
  • Tokens may be added only when there is a surplus in the calculation resources.
  • There is no guarantee that all tokens can be used up within the effective period when use of the tokens is permitted. Furthermore, as the tokens are only valid within the period that use is permitted for, even if there are any remaining tokens, they may not be transferred to the next fiscal year, nor will any refunds be provided.

Regular use (General)

The General course is designed for use by research groups, etc., and application for use can be submitted for in units of set (as the amount of resources available is limited, there are cases where the unit of use applied for cannot be provided). The standard disk storage allocated for the Miyabi system is 5TB per set. In addition to that, each user belonging to the group is allocated 50GB of disk storage.

While there are no restrictions on the number of users who can be registered, please note that the tokens allocated are shared among the registered users. For that reason, we have introduced a system that allows the group administrator, who is designated during the application for use, to make changes to the number of tokens assigned to each user within the group.

Group Cost of use
(Per year, including tax)		 Number of usable nodes Number of tokens allocated (per year) and consumption coefficient Disk storage
Per set 300,000 yen Miyabi-G :
Maximum of 256 nodes

Miyabi-C :
Maximum of 64 nodes
8,640 tokens
(Equivalent to Miyabi-G 1 node, 24 hours x 360 days

Miyabi-G consumption coefficient : 1.00
(per node),
0.25 (Use MIG, per instance)

Miyabi-C consumption coefficient : 0.80
(per node)
  • Group (/work)
    5TB
  • User (/home)
    50GB

※ Regardless of the number of sets applied for, jobs can be executed up to the number of node usable.
※ Disk storage for /home for users is fixed regardless of the number of nodes applied for.
※ This table is for Regular use (General).

Addition of tokens, addition of disk storage

  Cost of use (Per year, including tax) Remarks
Addition of tokens 25,000 yen (720 token)
Addition of disk storage 6,480 yen (1TB) Application by units of 1TB is accepted
