论文摘要
在过去的几年中,乔治华盛顿大学招募了大量的研究人员,这些研究人员需要高级计算资源的可用性。我们讨论了遇到规划并在大学级别建立首次高性能计算中心的挑战和障碍,并提出了一套解决方案,这些解决方案对于任何开发刚起步的高性能计算中心的大学都有用。我们专注于理由和成本模型,确定预期用例的策略,计划适当的资源,人员配备,用户参与度以及测量成功的指标。
Over the past several years, The George Washington University has recruited a significant number of researchers in a wide variety of domains requiring the availability of advanced computational resources. We discuss the challenges and obstacles encountered planning and establishing a first-time high performance computing center at the university level and present a set of solutions that will be useful for any university developing a fledgling high performance computing center. We focus on justification and cost model, strategies for determining anticipated use cases, planning appropriate resources, staffing, user engagement, and metrics for gauging success.
