The resources that are currently subject to accounting are the standardized core-hours (SCH). The resources that are currently subject to accounting are the standard core-hours (SCH).
The standardized core-hours are obtained from WCH by applying a standardization factor. The standard core-hours are obtained from WCH by applying a standardization factor.

All executions are accounted in standard core hours, using factor F valid at the time of the execution.
In future, the factors F will be updated, as new systems are installed. Factors F are expected to only decrease in time.
The standard core hours were introduced to treat systems of different age on equal footing.
Modern systems have more powerful processors, more work can be done in one WCH compared to legacy systems.
Standard core hour is an accounting tool to discount the legacy systems.
