-# K5-B Modeling Costs
+# K5 Modeling Costs
-# Background
 The user's awareness of the costs related to the operation of an HPC system is raised.
 For the resources of an HPC system, a distinction is made between costs for the computing elements of the supercomputer and costs for the storage system.

-  * Describe the impact of a cluster nodes type (e.g. CPU type, main memory expansion, or GPU extensions) and of the storage media type (SSD, disk, or e.g. tape for long term archiving (LTA) purposes) on its costs.
