The IDC HPC Innovation Award Program

59 HPC Award Program Goals

#1 Help to expand the use of HPC by showing real ROI examples: 1. Expand the “Missing Middle” – SMBs, SMEs, SMSs -- by providing examples of what can be done with HPC 2. Show mainstream and leading edge HPC success stories

#2 Create a large database of success stories across many industries/verticals/disciplines – To help justify investments and show non-users ideas on how to adopt HPC in their environment – Creating many examples for funding bodies and politicians to use and better understand the value of HPC  to help grow public interest in expanding HPC investments – For OEMs to demonstrate success stories using their products Users Have to Submit the Value of the Accomplishment

Users are required to submit the value achieved with their HPC system, in any of 3 broad categories: a) Dollar value of the HPC usage • e.g. made $$$ in new revenues, saved $$$ in costs, made $$$ in profits, etc. b) Scientific or engineering accomplishment • e.g. discovered how xyz really works, develop a new drug that does xyz, etc. c) Value to society as a whole • e.g. ended nuclear testing, made something safer, provided protection against xyz, etc.

… and the investment in HPC that was required (in order to calculate the ROI) The Judgment Process -- Clear, Fair And Transparent

The ranking of the accomplishments are done by only HPC USERS, following very specific rules. A three step process is proposed: 1. First the submission has to be complete with a clear “Value” shown • A number of the submissions were good, but needed a little more information – we have invited them to apply for the fall award 2. Secondly, an assessment is made to see that it is a realistic assessment of the value/returns • By the HPC User Forum Steering Committee 3. Then in cases where the value isn’t clear, or a deeper technical depth is required -- the final evaluation is by experts in the specific area/discipline The New Winners: At ISC’13 -- PART 1
