3. Computational

3.1 Does your research require significant computation : Y/N

  • If Y, continue with this section
  • If N, go to Comments

3.2 Which of the following computational hardware do you use, and what is their importance

  • 3.2.1 High performance computing (HPC)
    • My research currently uses HPC : Y/N
    • If Y :
      • The importance of HPC to my research is : High, medium, low
  • 3.2.2 Lab workstations
    • My research currently uses lab workstations : Y/N
    • If Y :
      • Type of lab workstations used
        • CPU-only
        • GPU
      • The importance of lab workstations to my research is : High, medium, low
      • My lab workstations are managed by :
        • Academic and Research Computing Systems (ARCS}
        • IST other than ARCS
        • Internally by a research group member
        • Other
        • Not managed
          • I would like to have my lab workstation(s) managed by IST : Y/N
      • What operating system does your group predominantly use for your workstations : Linux (CentOS, Red Hat, Ubuntu, etc.), MacOS, Windows
      • If your group could exclusively use one operating system for your workstations, which would it be : Linux (CentOS, Red Hat, Ubuntu, etc.), MacOS, Windows, One OS is not an optiom
  • 3.2.3 Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI)
    • Would you consider an IST-managed VDI environment (with and without GPU) utilizing bring-your-own-device (BYOD), instead of Linux/MacOS/Windows workstations : Y/N/Maybe
    • If Y or Maybe :
      • If you would use, or might use, CPU-only VDI
        • What would be the expected daily use of a CPU-only VDI in hours per day : <2, 2-6, 7-12, >12
        • What is the maximum annual cost you are willing to pay for VDIs (CPU only) : <$100, $100-500, $501-1000, >$1000
      • If you would use, or might use, GPU VDI
        • What would be the expected daily use of a GPU VDI in hours per day : <2, 2-6, 7-12, >12
        • What is the maximum annual cost you are willing to pay for GPU VDIs : <$500, $500-1000, $1001-2000, >$2000
