QuantumFuture Pay Per Usage computational license, 10,000 LARGE NODE HOURS

Description

This license covers 10,000 LARGE NODE HOURS  with any licensed QF application.

An integral aspect of our licensing scheme is the “pay as you go” feature. We charge license fees based
on actual usage, following a model like public cloud providers when provisioning computational re-
sources. Our licensed applications are categorized into three different license versions: “Large,” “Me-
dium,” and “Small.”

• The “Large” license version is intended for use on large computers with up to 64 OMP threads,
with a licensing charge of $1/hour per instance.

• The “Medium” versions are designed for smaller workstations with up to 8 OMP threads, with a
licensing charge of $0.5/hour per instance.

• The “Small” versions are suitable for smaller workstations with up to 4 OMP threads, with a li-
censing charge of $0.33/hour per instance.

Our applications automatically detect the number of OMP threads in use and apply one of the three licens-
ing models accordingly. It’s worth noting that renting a 16-physical Intel core node through AWS (referred
to as a 32 vCPU node) typically costs around $1/hour per node. The minimum cost for all three licensing
models is 10 cents, with an additional charge of 10 cents every 6, 12, or 20 minutes as the applications
periodically contact our license server.
