What's Your HPC Game Plan?

CT: So, it's the notion of "spending money to make money"? In other words, if a university has centralized highperformance resources in place, that helps bring in more grant money for researchers?
Neeman: I think that's an excellent point: HPC is an investment, not a cost. But that's a tough argument to sell, so we're always collecting data to support it. In the end, HPC will pay off in terms of return on investment; that is, more external dollars will come in for our researchers-far more external dollars than would have come in without the supercomputing resources, and far more than what's initially been invested in the centralized resource.
