Cost-Benefit Quantification for HPC: An Inevitable Challenge
SESSION: Cost-Benefit Quantification for HPC: An Inevitable Challenge
EVENT TYPE: Birds of a Feather
TIME: 5:30PM - 7:00PM
SESSION LEADER(S):Thomas Ludwig, Albert Reuther, Amy Apon
ROOM:601/603
ABSTRACT:
HPC is an indispensable though expensive technology. While the discussion of
cost has been part of the conversation for many years, only recently have we
also seen the analyses of its benefits. Quantification is difficult and we still
lack an economical model to evaluate the cost-benefit ratio, and effects to
efficiency, in the industrial process and in scientific development.
This BoF will present approaches to this issue and foster a discussion between
investors and users.
Better understanding of the methods to quantify and qualify the benefit and cost
aspects will result in cost efficient computational science and engineering.
