Not sure if I like this method of measuring processor usage since a project that took a million hours in 2001 wouldn't take a million hours in 2010 but that's what's in the article.
Usually the value of a cpu-hour depends on the current cluster hardware. At NERSC I think they revalue the cpu-hour annually when they allocate time for the next year. http://www.nersc.gov/hypermail/all-announcements/1013.html http://www.nersc.gov/nusers/accounts/mpp-charging.php
