Hello, We will be installing a CRAY Y-MP with UNICOS 5.1.11 in decmeber. We are looking at the accounting in UNICOS, both for acceptance and to define a proper accounting formula for production in January. Our requirement is that accounting should be (reasonably) reproducible in an empty and loaded system. We are billing our users and they want to be billed equaly for the same job, independent of other jobs. CRAY can not tell us which resource parameters are reproducible for a job. We can understand that the system CPU time may vary according to the load of the system. But how about user CPU time and memory usage? What accounting info are other UNICOS sites using for billing? Any experience is welcome. Thank you , Paul Wielinga, Operating Systems Department SARA, Academic Computer Services Amsterdam E-mail: wielinga @ sara.nl or Gerben Jansen (gerben@sara.nl)
