Why Bother?If you don’t measure it, you can’t improve itConstant budgetary pressure
HPC is expensiveCompeting for limited resources with many other worthy
programs Can’t simply state the obvious - that HPC capability is crucial for a
research university

The Good NewsAdvanced computing critical to research
Simulation based engineering and science Data driven science
HPC Centers have a good story to tellTransparency is goodMuch of the info is collected already
Log files from queuing systems

Which Metrics (ROI)Resource Utilization
Provide instantaneous and historical information on resource utilization
Improve system performance for users
UB Metrics on Demand (UBMoD)Grant Database
Track grant proposals submitted and funded by researchers utilizing HPC resources
Track funds budgeted to center from grants
