Formula and units
Cloud = GPUs × scheduled hours × supplied rate + cloud extras. Owned = installed capital/GPU × GPUs ÷ months + monthly overhead + GPUs × scheduled hours × IT kW/GPU × PUE × electricity rate. Crossover hours = (fixed owned cost − cloud extras) ÷ (GPUs × cloud rate − owned electricity cost per scheduled hour), when that denominator is non-zero and the result is non-negative.
How to read the result
Compare equivalent service, measured performance, capacity and support. The ownership model excludes financing, tax, residual value, construction delays, off-schedule idle energy and costs not supplied in overhead. It assumes linear energy during scheduled hours and no charge otherwise. The sensitivity table uses a 720-hour reference month; the crossover check allows up to 744 calendar hours. A crossover is arithmetic, not a buying recommendation.
