Use of GPUs and their associated resources follow the same principles as already described for core equivalents, except that a reference GPU unit (RGU) is added to the bundle alongside multiple cores and memory. This means that the accounting for GPU-based allocation targets must include the RGU. Similar to how the point system was used above when considering resource use as an expression of the concept of core equivalence, we | Use of GPUs and their associated resources follow the same principles as already described for core equivalents, except that a reference GPU unit (RGU) is added to the bundle alongside multiple cores and memory.

Research groups are charged for the maximum number of RGU-core-memory bundles they use. Assuming a fictive bundle of 1 RGU, 3 cores, and 4 GB of memory: | Research groups are charged for the maximum number of RGU-core-memory bundles they use.
