NCI operates on a resource share model whereby the resources of the NCI systems have been allocated to NCI (for the NCMAS) and other Partners in accordance with the contributions they have provided to NCI.
As a result of this model, researchers granted resources under the NCMAS or by the Partners are not charged by NCI for their use of NCI systems.
The NCI Steering Committee has determined that for the purposes of indicating the in-kind value of grants to bodies such as the ARC, a figure of $0.04 per SU on compute systems should be used. Projects with commercial support may be expected to make a financial contribution.
