Who can use ComputeMint

ComputeMint is for students and developers, starting at RVCE. Sign up with any email address, or with Google or GitHub.
New accounts may need our approval before they can run jobs. Until then you can sign in, see prices and redeem codes.
Jobs must follow the acceptable use policy.

You pay for GPU time with ComputeMint Credits (1 credit = ₹1). Right now, credits come only from redeem codes.
Credits never expire. They can only be used on ComputeMint, can't be transferred to another person or account, and can't be withdrawn or exchanged for cash. Unused credits stay in your balance for later.
Each redeem code can be used once.

Standard queue: the full requested duration is held when you pay. You're charged for the minutes your job actually runs, rounded up to the next minute, with a minimum of 15 minutes. The rest is released.
Reserved slot: you're charged for the booked slot, because the GPU is kept for you. Finishing early doesn't reduce the charge. Cancel at least 24 hours before the start for a full refund; later cancellations refund 50%.
Not charged: jobs that fail because of a problem on our side, inputs we reject before running, slots missed because the GPU was unavailable, and bookings cancelled by the GPU owner. Jobs stopped because the owner needed the GPU are also not charged.
Charged for the time used: jobs that fail because of an error in your own program, or reach their time limit.
