Total HPC Resources Available
NeSI resources available for allocation each year combined across both Mahuika and Māui HPC systems include 152 million x86 CPU Core-hours and 112 thousand GPGPU-hours (equivalent to 400 million Cuda Core-hours) per annum and are divided between Allocation Classes as specified in Table 1, and Table 2.
Table 1: NeSI HPC resources (physical core-hours) available per annum. Note: (1) One Node-h on Māui is equivalent to 40 Core-hs; (2) Allocations on Mahuika (cloud) will be available in Q4, 2018.

Table 2: GPGPU resources available for Allocation per annum. Note: these are the maximum resources available (assuming all GPGPUs are used for computation). Actual total allocations will be lower, as one or more GPGPUs on each HPC may be used to provide remotes visualization services.
