Pricing & Billing
Ofakim HPC Cluster – Pricing & Billing
Compute costs are calculated based on actual resource usage — CPU cores, RAM, and GPU time — with no charge for data transfer. Run:ai's GPU fractioning means you only pay for the fraction of a GPU your workload actually needs.
Compute Pricing
| Resource | Rate |
| CPU Core / hour | ₪0.004 |
| RAM (per GB) / hour | ₪0.001 |
| Full GPU (e.g. A100) / hour | ₪0.65 |
| ¼ GPU (fractioned via Run:ai) / hour | ₪0.325 |
Storage Pricing (ESS, per TB/year)
| Tier | Price / TB / Year |
| 0 – 20 TB | ₪600 |
| 20 – 40 TB | ₪500 |
| 40 – 60 TB | ₪400 |
| 80 – 100 TB | ₪300 |
| 100 – 200 TB | ₪250 |
Prices shown are subsidized by the University and significantly lower than commercial cloud providers.
Compute charges are billed semi-annually; storage charges are billed annually, via BGU's financial system (TAFNIT).
How Billing Works

Bring Your Own Server
Our HPC team assists with the full lifecycle according to BGU policy — guiding the sourcing, purchasing, and installation of approved hardware into the cluster. You get guaranteed priority access to your dedicated hardware with full cluster integration and support.
|
Pay-As-You-Go
No hardware to purchase — just pay for the CPU, RAM, and GPU time you actually consume, at the rates above. Ideal for getting started quickly or for variable workloads.
