・The process from the issuance of an invoice to payment for the use of “RIKYU” (AI for Science Supercomputer) is as follows.
① The period from July 7 to September 30, 2026 (tentative) is the Early Access II period. Usage fees for the Early Access II period will be calculated based on the computational resources used up to that point, and an invoice will be issued by the 20th of the month following the month in which the period ends (*1). The fees will be billed in a lump sum, with the end of the month following the invoice as the payment deadline. If the Early Access II period is extended, and regarding the handling after the Early Access II period ends, we will notify you separately.
② RIKEN will carry out the invoicing procedure and send the invoice to the project representative. When you receive the invoice, please pay by bank transfer to the bank account indicated on it. The transfer deadline is the end of the month following the month in which the invoice was issued (*1).

・If the 20th falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or public holiday, the invoice will be issued by the next business day. If the transfer deadline falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or public holiday, the deadline will be the preceding business day.
Addendum, October 15, 2026
・Following the earlier “Early Access” periods, RIKYU started production operation on October 13. Details of the RIKYU fees will be provided separately to project representatives. Usage from October to December is scheduled to be billed in January, and the billing schedule from then on will be announced separately after January.
