Design Decisions in Jetstream 2 for Improved ROI
DescriptionJetstream 2 exists as a unique resource within the ACCESS ecosystem, and as such expressing the value of and justification for building an outlier of a NSF funded system is particularly important. Tichenor et al has published a return on investment calculation for HPC systems. In the context of unique system design choices for Jetstream 2 this calculation provides insight into the unique value proposition of the system. The inherently interactive nature and flexibility of an OpenStack based system minimizes training costs and time to launch. High availability and hardware selections reduce administrative time and time to parallelize respectively. Minimizing these four terms in the ROI calculation maximize the value of the system.
