DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:ABSTRACT: Across the world, government funding for large supercomputers is undergoing a multi-year shift. The historical heavy tilt toward national security and advanced science/engineering increasingly needs to be counterbalanced by arguments for returns-on-investment (ROI). The U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Office of Science and National Nuclear Security Administration recently awarded International Data Corporation (IDC) a three-year grant to conduct a full study of returns on investments (ROI) in high performance computing (HPC).  The full study follows IDC's successful completion of a 2013 pilot study on this topic for DOE. IDC's Steve Conway will discuss the goals and methodology for the three-year, full-out study.
