DescriptionThe predominant goal for procurement of HPC systems is
to identify the optimal solution to both technical and
financial targets that maximizes the contribution of
that system to the organization’s mission. Beyond the
acquisition cost of the system, it is also important to
consider the total costs of ownership, including the
improvements necessary to host the system, the
infrastructure that supports its operation, and the
significant operational costs associated with that new
HPC system. HPC leaders from across the globe will
discuss and debate key procurement requirements and
lessons learned that can contribute to greater
efficiency and reduced operational costs.
