1 wall-clock core-hour is defined as 1 processor core allocated for 1 hour of wall-clock time. Allocating a full node (16 cores Anselm, 24 cores Salomon)
for 1 hour amounts to 16 wall-clock core-hours (Anselm) or 24 wall-clock core-hours (Salomon).
### Standard Core-Hours SCH
### Normalized Core-Hours NCH
The resources subject to accounting are the standard core-hours (SCH).
The standard core-hours are obtained from WCH by applying a standardization factor:
The resources subject to accounting are the normalized core-hours (NCH).
The normalized core-hours are obtained from WCH by applying a normalization factor:
$$
SCH = F*WCH
NCH = F*WCH
$$
All jobs are accounted in standard core-hours, using factor F valid at the time of the execution:

The standard core-hours were introduced to treat systems of different age on equal footing.
Standard core-hour is an accounting tool to discount the legacy systems. The past (before 2017-09-11) F factors are all 1.0.

Normalized core-hour is an accounting tool to discount the legacy systems. The past (before 2017-09-11) F factors are all 1.0.
In future, the factors F will be updated, as new systems are installed. Factors F are expected to only decrease in time.
