SUMMARY:The Business of HPC: TCO, Funding Models, Metrics, Value, and More
DESCRIPTION:Tutorial\nHPC Center Planning and Operations, Tutorial Reg Pas
 s\n\nThe Business of HPC: TCO, Funding Models, Metrics, Value, and More\n\
 nJones, Thomas, Barcena Roig, Hamilton\n\nThe tutorial provides an imparti
 al, practical, non-sales focused guide to the business aspects of HPC faci
 lities and services. It presents a rare and invaluable opportunity for HPC
  managers, practitioners, and stakeholders to learn about using TCO models
 ; the pros and cons of different cost recovery and funding models; appropr
 iate metrics for HPC services, and assessing the value of HPC.\n\nWell-man
 aged TCO, return on investment, and cost recovery models can be hugely ben
 eficial to HPC managers and operators by demonstrating the value of HPC to
  the organization, driving the continuation and growth of HPC investment. 
 They can also help uncover practical improvements to deliver better servic
 es to users.\n\nAfter the tutorial, attendees will be in a stronger positi
 on to calculate and use TCO within their organizations, to design and use 
 cost-recovery models, to select and use appropriate metrics, and articulat
 e the value of HPC.\n\nThe tutorial is based on experience across a divers
 e set of real world cases in various countries, in both private and public
  sectors, with projects of all sizes and shapes.\n\nThe material is based 
 on our successful SC17 TCO and Business Case tutorials, with selected elem
 ents of those tutorials brought together with additional new content.
