Sample cost data collection for model runs

[Souheil-Yazji]

For the purpose of cloud costing, we can create the following testing scenario:

The oncosim modelers can set up the model parameters for their mpijob and we can create a manifest with the appropriate parameters but with modified worker resources.

We can then submit the modified job and collect the cost incurred for running a successful job.

This will give us an estimate for time vs cost at a particular resource consumption level.

Example

Oncosim model submitted with x,y,z model configuration.
Worker resources requested: 4c, 16gb
Workers used: 2
Time used: xx:xx:xx
Cost incurred: $xxx.xx
