I guess that's just all they needed until they were done?

  The worth of a single CPUh on a cluster is roughly 0,1€. That's a 30k€ donation from google. Weird that they put this number at the front. My guess is that they run on a large number of CPU cores. On 1000 cores, it's already 300 million CPUh. Really, to put this into relationship, on many clusters you get 100k CPUh for free when you apply for getting access, just to test your code. That's why 300k CPUh is not much.

    So you're saying the donation is insignificant in comparison to other applications? I'd say 30k€ is pretty significant, and it makes sense to thank them by mentioning it right at the front.

      Every donation is significant. It's just uncommon in science to mention donations in the first sentence at all. As a reader, this suggests something exceptional. My point is only that this number isn't.
