Abstract

Return on Investment or ROI is a fundamental measure of effectiveness in business. It has been applied broadly across industries, including information technology and supercomputing. In this panel, we will share approaches to assessing ROI for academic supercomputing.The panel will address the challenge that “returns” from supercomputing and other computationally based research activities are often not financial. This is major distinction from other industrial sectors, where product sales, inventions, and patents might form the basis of ROI calculations. How should ROI be assessed for high performance computing in academic environments? What inroads to ROI calculations are underway by the panelists? What are challenges of ROI calculations?
