Suppose there is a daily job that runs for 2 hours 5 minutes of CPU time, and we tune it so that it completes in 5 minutes CPU. How to showcase the benefit of 2 CPU hours savings?

In an SCRT environment where the bill to IBM is mainly based on peak 4 hour rolling average. If the CPU saved is not in the peak 4 HRA then how can we quantify the benefit, if possible.

I had a thought that "CPU not used is still CPU available for other processes to use" so there is one benefit.

Are there any other thoughts on this? Thank you

Regards,

That amount of reduced cpu time will most likely also lead to much reduced runtime, so other resources are held for a much shorter time. It also means that you have much more time to fix any runtime errrors and still be within the batch window, if you have one.
