    Dear PIs and PI Proxies,

In 2009 MPP charging will be based on the Cray XT4 hour, rather than the 
IBM POWER3 hour used in 2008. On the request form you will see your 
current MPP usage displayed in Cray XT4 hours, and you should request 
time for 2009 using these units as well. The MPP machines available for 
2009 are:

the Cray XT4, Franklin, which will have a machine charge factor of 1 
(the base unit)
the IBM POWER5, Bassi, which will have a machine charge factor of 1.
the Linux Cluster, Jacquard, which will have a machine charge factor of 0.6.
the SGI Altix, DaVinci, which will have a machine charge factor of 0.6.

Please note: the new XT4 units are only displayed in the 2009 ERCAP 
area; the rest of NIM is still using the old POWER3 units.
