# Cluster-101
2+
3+
## Overview
4+
5+
This cluster is hosted on [Microsoft Azure][^1] infrastructure and is intended to provide free compute resources.
6+
7+
| Name | Hostname | Location |

## Queues
12+
13+
The list of currently enabled queues is given below.
14+
15+
The price factor is shown in relation to the [relative unit price](../../pricing/service-levels.md#comparison-table).
16+
17+
The price factor if 10E-4 means that the cost of using this queue is 0.0001 times the cost of using the base queue (OR).
18+
This is intended to provide free compute resources and keep the accounting of resource usage.

## 1. Free Compute Tier for the Platform Users.
66

7-
!!!note "The Limited Free Compute Program starting in 2025."
8-
The Limited Free Compute Program is starting in 2025. Users are still welcome to submit their information.
7+
In collaboration with our cloud provider partners, we are offering a Limited Free Compute program for our platform
8+
users.
99

10-
The program is targeted for users with current academic affiliations, however, we will consider private parties as well.
11-
Anyone can participate. For the selected users, we will provide computational resources free of charge on a case-by-case
12-
basis.
10+
The primary goal of this program is to support academic research and education in the field of materials science and
11+
enable the community to explore the capabilities of our platform.
12+
13+
The program is targeted for users with current academic affiliations, however, we welcome private parties as well.
14+
15+
The free tier access is available through [cluster-101](../infrastructure/clusters/cluster-101.md) only.
16+
17+
### 1.1. Free Compute Eligibility.
18+
19+
To be eligible for the Limited Free Compute program, users must meet the following criteria:
20+
21+
- Be a registered user of the platform.
22+
- Have a valid academic affiliation (eg. student, faculty, researcher) or be a private party interested in exploring the
23+
platform capabilities.
24+
- If affiliated with an academic institution, use an email address associated with the institution (ie. hosted on a "
25+
.edu" domain) during the registration.
26+
- (Optional) Provide information about the nature of the anticipated work (eg. research topic, educational purpose,
27+
etc.)
28+
- Agree to the conditions outlined below.
29+
30+
### 1.2. Applying for Free Compute.
31+
32+
As of now, no seprate application is needed. If you meet the eligibility criteria above, you can start using the
33+
platform and its resources right away.
34+
35+
We will review the user base periodically and reach out to the users who meet the eligibility criteria to inform them
36+
about the program and its benefits.
37+
38+
And consequently, we will screen out the users who do not meet the criteria.
