Following the rollout of the U-M RCP in September, Michigan Medicine is offering researchers additional cost savings when using high-performance computing resources.
With the switch from the Michigan Medicine RCP to U-M RCP, Michigan Medicine is excited to offer additional high-performance compute and web hosting cost savings.
New cost savings include:
- Covering 80 percent of computing costs beyond RCP: For those requiring compute time beyond the credit hours offered in RCP, Michigan Medicine will further reduce researchers’ costs by covering 80 percent of total high-performance computing costs on the shared campus cluster. This is an increase from a 44 percent cost-share budgeted for fiscal year 2022. No action is needed to take advantage of these savings. Savings will be reflected on your next monthly billing statement.
- New web application hosting subsidy: For researchers looking to host web applications, Michigan Medicine is offering a subsidy to help cover a majority of the costs to run a web application in fiscal year 2022 in our Cloud Kubernetes Hosting Service. In most cases, no additional fees would be incurred for this service, depending upon the size of your web application. To take advantage of these savings, submit a container hosting ticket via the Michigan Medicine Help Center, or contact your Academic IT Liaison.
