Each row describes a task, the type of DNAnexus compute node that was used, the instance type (spot or on-demand), and the cost in British pounds. See supplemental subjects and methods for more information. Spot instance can be terminated at any time by the cloud provider. Compute jobs that failed due to spot instance termination were automatically rerun on on-demand instances.
