The invention provides systems and methods for maximizing revenue generating throughput of a multi-user parallel data processing platform across a set of users of the service provided with the platform. The invented techniques, for any given user contract among the contracts supported by the platform, and on any given billing assessment period, determine a level of a demand for the capacity of the platform associated with the given contract that is met by a level of access to the capacity of the platform allocated to the given contract, and assess billables for the given contract at least in part based on such met demand and a level of assured access to the capacity of the platform associated with the given contract, as well as billing rates, applicable for the given billing assessment period, for the met demand and the level of assured access associated with the given contract.
