How can I check my TeraGrid account balance?

You can monitor usage of your TeraGrid allocation online (via the TeraGrid User Portal) or from the command line of any TeraGrid resource (using the tgusage utility).

Via the User Portal

To view account usage online:

1. Log into the TeraGrid User Portal.
   
   
2. Click the My TeraGrid tab and (if necessary) Accounts and Usage. Usage data for your allocation(s) is under "Allocation Usage".

Using tgusage

To monitor the usage of your allocation from the command line of any TeraGrid resource, use the tgusage utility.

Entering tgusage list will display cumulative information about the service units (SUs) used in all your allocations on all applicable machines, for example:

If you have more than one allocation, tgusage lists your accounts and asks you to choose the one to be displayed.

Usage data is normally updated once every day, so SUs accrued by jobs on one day will be reflected in the tgusage data the next day.

Note: Usage data by month is not readily available. If you need such detail, send a request to help@teragrid.org for routing to the appropriate system administrator.
