tidy3d.web.api.webapi.real_cost

class real_cost

Bases:

Get the billed cost for given task after it has been run.

Parameters:

• task_id (str) – Unique identifier of task on server. Returned by upload().

• verbose (bool = True) – Whether to log the cost and helpful messages.

Returns:

The flex credit cost that was billed for the given task_id.

Return type:

float

Note

The billed cost may not be immediately available when the task status is set to success, but should be available shortly after.

Examples

To obtain the cost of a simulation, you can use the function tidy3d.web.real_cost(task_id). In the example below, a job is created, and its cost is estimated. After running the simulation, the real cost can be obtained.

import time

# initializes job, puts task on server (but doesn't run it)
job = web.Job(simulation=sim, task_name="job", verbose=verbose)

# estimate the maximum cost
estimated_cost = web.estimate_cost(job.task_id)

print(f'The estimated maximum cost is {estimated_cost:.3f} Flex Credits.')

# Runs the simulation.
sim_data = job.run(path="data/sim_data.hdf5")

time.sleep(5)

# Get the billed FlexCredit cost after a simulation run.
cost = web.real_cost(job.task_id)
