Billing
Billing conditions when working with the automated predictive modeling platform ANTAVIRA
Basic terms
This page uses the following basic terms:
- Platform is an online service for building predictive models that provides access to cloud computing resources through a personal account located at the link: https://cabinet.antavira.com/login
- Project implies loading and storing one dataset on the computing resources of the platform and a set of Counts for this dataset.
- Count is a set of Modeling Processes for selected targets with one Set of Settings in the context of one Project.
- Modeling Process is the construction of one predictive model for one target with one Set of Settings in the context of one Count.
- Target is the desired variable on which the Modeling Process is carried out.
- Set of Settings is a set of settings for the entire modeling chain or its part for one Count.
- Results Export is the export of the files generated by the platform during the execution of each step of the Modeling Process.
- Data Storage involves the use of computing resources to store the dataset of each Project and to store the export files of each Project.
Throughout this page, these terms are to be understood as stated above.
What does the cost of using the Platform include
When working with the ANTAVIRA platform, you pay for the time of using computing resources in the context of each Project spent on:
- Execution of a Modeling Process;
- Exporting the results of each stage of a Modeling Process;
- Data Storage.
ANTAVIRA works on a prepaid system. You need to replenish the balance, money will be charged only during the usage of computing resources. If work is interrupted for any reason other than the cancellation at the user’s initiative, the time will not be billed. If the work is terminated at your initiative, you will be charged for the already used time of computing resources. If your balance reaches zero or becomes negative during the work, all actions performed by the Platform at your request will be suspended until the balance is replenished. If the balance is not replenished within 3 days, all Projects, including Counts and Data Storage, will be permanently deleted.
Billing Rules for Modeling Process and/or Results Export
ANTAVIRA applies per-second billing for the use of computing resources for one Modeling Process and/or one Results Export. The time of use of computing resources is rounded up to the nearest whole second. Cost intervals (Grid) are determined based on the total time of using computing resources for the entire time of work on the Platform.
The amount of time required to perform Modeling Processes and/or Results Export can vary greatly depending on many factors, such as the size of the dataset and the complexity of settings, the number of iterations, the selected mathematical algorithms.
Cost of the Modeling Process and/or Results Export
Cost intervals:
| Grid | Total number of hours of platform usage | Price per 1 second of computing resource usage |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Up to 25 hours | free |
| 2 | Over 25 and up to 100 hours | 0,0105 ₽ |
| 3 | Over 100 and up to 1 000 hours | 0,0087 ₽ |
| 4 | Over 1 000 and up to 10 000 hours | 0,0070 ₽ |
| 5 | Over 10 000 hours | 0,0053 ₽ |
The example of Modeling Process Billing:
In this example, the following conventions are used:
- P – Project;
- C – Count;
- M – Modeling Process;
- t – time spent on each Modeling Process (sec);
- grid – Cost interval.
You have 2 Projects loaded, each running 2 Counts simultaneously, each consisting of 3 Modeling Processes.
Total: 12 Modeling Processes.
The Platform has completed each Modeling Process in a certain amount of time. For this example, the time, the Platform spent on each Modeling Process, is shown in the table below:
| Modeling Process Name | Execution time |
|---|---|
| 1. P1C1M1 | 7 hours = 25 200 sec |
| 2. P1C1M2 | 8 hours = 28 800 sec |
| 3. P1C1M3 | 5 hours = 18 000 sec |
| 4. P1C2M1 | 11 hours = 39 600 sec |
| 5. P1C2M2 | 13 hours = 46 800 sec |
| 6. P1C2M3 | 14 hours = 50 400 sec |
| 7. P2C1M1 | 2 hours = 7 200 sec |
| 8. P2C1M2 | 1.5 hours = 5 400 sec |
| 9. P2C1M3 | 3 hours = 10 800 sec |
| 10. P2C2M1 | 30 minutes = 1 800 sec |
| 11. P2C2M2 | 45 minutes = 2 700 sec |
| 12. P2C2M3 | 1 hour = 3 600 sec |
You have worked on the platform for a total of 30 hours, therefore the time spent on each Modeling Process will be charged at Grid №2 (0,0105 ₽/sec).
In this way, you pay for the total amount of time spent on all Modeling Processes according to the following formula:
t(P1C1M1)*grid2 + t(P1C1M2)*grid2 + t(P1C1M3)*grid2 + t(P1C2M1)*grid2 + t(P1C2M2)*grid2+ t(P1C2M3)*grid2 + t(P2C1M1)*grid2 + t(P2C1M2)*grid2 + t(P2C1M3)*grid2 + t(P2C2M1)*grid2 + t(P2C2M2)*grid2 + t(P2C2M3)*grid2
=
25200*0,0105 + 28800*0,0105 + 18000*0,0105 + 39600*0,0105 + 46800*0,0105 + 50400*0,0105 + 7200*0,0105 + 5400*0,0105 + 10800*0,0105 + 1800*0,0105 + 2700*0,0105 + 3600*0,0105
=
264,6 + 302,4 + 189 + 415,8 + 491,4 + 529,2 + 75,6 + 56,7 + 113,4 + 18,9 + 28,35 + 37,8 = 2 523,15 RUB
The example of Results Export Billing:
In this example, the following conventions are used:
- E – Export;
- t – time spent on each Export; (sec);
- Grid – Cost interval.
You have 4 Export processes running. The Platform has executed each Export in a certain amount of time. For this example, the time, the Platform spent on each Export, is shown in the table below:
| Export Name | Execution time |
|---|---|
| E1 | 30 sec |
| E2 | 2 minutes = 120 sec |
| E3 | 6 minutes = 360 sec |
| E4 | 11 minutes = 660 sec |
You have worked on the platform for a total of 30 hours, therefore the time spent on each Export will be charged at Grid №2 (0,0105 ₽/sec).
In this way, you pay for the total amount of time spent on all Exports according to the following formula:
t(E1)*grid2 + t(E2)*grid2 + t(E3)*grid2 + t(E4)*grid2
=
30*0,0105 + 120*0,0105 + 360*0,0105 + 660*0,0105 = 0,315 + 1,26 + 3,78 + 6,93 = 12,285 RUB
Billing Rules for Data storage
In ANTAVIRA, the cost of Data Storage is calculated separately. The per-second billing applies from the moment you upload each dataset to the Platform storage, as well as from the moment the Platform saves each generated Export file in its own storage. When using the Platform, you have a storage capacity of 5 GB, within which Data Storage is not charged.
If the total volume of your files currently stored in the Platform exceeds 5 GB, the minimum unit for purchasing storage space for your files is 5 GB. The cost intervals (Grid) for each minimum unit purchased, following the free 5 GB, are determined based on the total volume of files currently stored in the Platform.
Cost of Data Storage
Cost intervals:
| Grid | Total volume of files in the Platform’s Storage | Price per 1 second of 5 GB usage |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Up to 5 GB | free |
| 2 | Over 5 GB and up to 500 GB | 0,000040 ₽ |
| 3 | Over 500 GB and up to 3000 GB | 0,000060 ₽ |
| 4 | Over 3000 GB | 0,000070 ₽ |
The example of Data Storage Billing:
In this example, the following conventions are used:
- VP – Project file volume;
- VE – Export file volume;
- tP – time spent on storing Project data (sec);
- tE – time spent on storing Export files (sec);
- N – number of purchased storage units;
- Grid – Cost interval.
You have loaded 2 Projects simultaneously. For this example, the volume of each Project and the time spent on Data Storage for each Project are shown in the table below:
| Project Name | Project Volume | Storage time |
|---|---|---|
| P1 | 7 GB | 24 hours = 86 400 sec |
| P2 | 2 GB | 4 hours = 14 400 sec |
Also, in the first Project, you have generated 2 Exports, which means files of each of them were uploaded by the Platform to the storage. For this example, the volume of each Export file and the time spent by the Platform on its Storage are shown in the table below:
| Export Name | Export file Volume | Storage time |
|---|---|---|
| E1 | 5 MB = 0,0049 GB | 30 minutes = 1 800 sec |
| E2 | 2 MB = 0,002 GB | 2 hours = 7 200 sec |
Let’s calculate the total volume of files to determine the cost interval using the following formula:
VP1 + VP2 + VE1 + VE1 = 7 + 2 + 0,0049 + 0,002 = 9,0069 GB
Accordingly, it is necessary to use Grid No. 2 (0,000040 ₽/sec) for a volume that exceeds the free 5 GB (for this example, this is 4.0069 GB). For a volume of 4.0069 GB, one unit of purchase will be required.
Therefore, you pay for the Data Storage, according to the following formula:
(tP1 + tP2 + tE1 + tE2) * N * grid2 = (86400 + 14400 + 1800 + 7200) * 1 * 0,000040 = 4,392 RUB
