Re:U.S. Invests $258M in Supercomputing Race with China by dekhn on Friday June 16, 2017 @10:56AM (#14569544)
Unit costs can only be determined after enough runs permit you to take the spent budget and divide by the number of units built. What you're describing is a projection and it only holds if the full run is built. If it gets cut short, the unit costs are higher because of the non-recoverable costs.
