Cost estimator formula
I. Cost Estimator Formula
CPU Regions=（unit price x cores x performance parameter）x（1+ RAM ）x render hour + software cost
GPU Regions=（dual cards unit price/2 x cards x performance parameter）x（1+RAM ）x render hour + software cost
Description：
1.1. Unit price:the clients' current price status
1.2. Core:the nodes' cores distributed during rendering
1.3. Performance parameter:Node performance coefficient
1.4. default RAM cost is based on 64GB RAM, 128GB RAM and 256GB RAM are optional with extra cost.
- 128GB :CPU 20%;GPU 20%
- 256GB :CPU 40%;GPU 40%
1.6. Software cost:the default value is 0
II. Node Configuration
For CPU Regions
| Region | Physical Core | Performance parameter |
| CPU Region 1 | 36 | 1 |
| CPU Region 2 | 24 | 0.9 |
| CPU Region 3 | 20 | 1 |
For GPU Regions
| Region | Performance parameter |
| GPU Region 1 | 1、1.35、2、3 |
| GPU Region 2 | 1.13 |
| GPU Region 3 | 1.13 |
III. Notes:
3.1. when you choose Default, the job will randomly allocate nodes for rendering, and the deduction will be based on the actual configuration.
3.2. If the memory is changed from 64GB RAM to 128GB/256GB RAM while rendering, the unstarted frames will be charged according to the price of 128GB/256GB nodes.
3.3. While rendering, only the memory configuration can be upgraded, and cannot be downgraded after the upgrade.
3.4. After we use the new cost estimator, users who have not updated the Client can only select the Default nodes type to calculate the fee deduction by default.
3.7. There are tasks using Redshift 2.5.X and the Fstorm plug-ins can only choose 1080Ti nodes configuration.
