nextnano cloud (hosted by Microsoft or Amazon)
You will use the nextnano cloud hosted by Microsoft Azure or Amazon EC2.
Advantage
- You will be charged only for actual CPU time. This is ideally suited if you have peak times for your simulations, e.g. if you want to do parameter sweeps on a large amount of computers. This avoids costs for investments in additional hardware.
