compute
The processing power a computer uses to perform tasks. This usually refers to either CPU or RAM.
CPU
Central Processing Unit. Executes tasks and processes data.
GiB-hour
Gibibyte-hour. A unit of compute for memory usage. E.g. a server with 4GiB RAM running for 24 hours consumes 4 ×\times 24 = 96 GiB-hours of memory usage.
home storage
Long-term storage. In Linux, every user has a dedicated home folder that lives in a physical storage disk. Any files saved here are available when you log out and log in again. This folder is intended for small files, such as code or text files, and is not an appropriate place to store large datasets.
RAM
Random Access Memory. Short-term memory that stores working data and machine code.
