SUMMARY:The Business of HPC: TCO, Funding Models, Metrics, Value, and More
DESCRIPTION:Andrew Jones (Numerical Algorithms Group); Owen G. M. Thomas (
 Red Oak Consulting); Ingrid Barcena Roig (KU Leuven, Belgium); and Caleb H
 amilton (Numerical Algorithms Group)\n\nThe tutorial provides an impartial
 , practical, non-sales focused guide to the business aspects of HPC facili
 ties and services. It presents a rare and invaluable opportunity for HPC m
 anagers, practitioners, and stakeholders to learn about using TCO models; 
 the pros and cons of different cost recovery and funding models; appropria
 te metrics for HPC services, and assessing the value of HPC.\n\nWell-manag
 ed TCO, return on investment, and cost recovery models can be hugely benef
 icial to HPC managers and operators by demonstrating the value of HPC to t
 he organization, driving the continuation and growth of HPC investment. Th
 ey can also help uncover practical improvements to deliver better services
  to users.\n\nAfter the tutorial, attendees will be in a stronger position
  to calculate and use TCO within their organizations, to design and use co
 st-recovery models, to select and use appropriate metrics, and articulate 
 the value of HPC.\n\nThe tutorial is based on experience across a diverse 
 set of real world cases in various countries, in both private and public s
 ectors, with projects of all sizes and shapes.\n\nThe material is based on
  our successful SC17 TCO and Business Case tutorials, with selected elemen
 ts of those tutorials brought together with additional new content.\n\nTag
