Identification

• What is the name of your institution
• What is your department
• Your email address (optional)
• Your phone number (optional)

On-premise high performance computing (HPC) environment

• Access

How does your institution manage on-premise HPC resources? Check all that apply

• Centralized (provided and managed by central IT)
• Departmental (provided and managed by individual departments)
• Condominium (you own resources in a centralized or departmental resource)
• Research computing colocation
• Individually owned
• Metrics

Please estimate the following quantities of resources available to researchers at your imstitution

• Total number of cluster(s)
• 1
• 2 to 5
• 6 to 10
• More than 10
• Don't know
• Total number of CPU cores in the cluster(s) selected above
• Less than 1000
• Between 1001 and 5000
• Between 5001 and 20,000
• More than 20,000
• Don't know
• Total Number of GPUs in the cluster(s)
• None
• 1 to 10
• Between 11 and 20
• Between 21 and 50
• More than 50
• Don't know
• Parallel file system

Do any on-premise HPC resources that you use a parallel file system?

• Yes
• No
• Don't know
• Node interconnect

What type(s) of node interconnect are you using. Select all that apply.

• 1GigE (1 Gb/sec Ethernet)
• 10GigE (10 Gb/sec Ethernet)
• InfiniBand
• OmniPath
• Other - please specify
• Don't know
• How important is providing on-premise HPC resources in attracting new research faculty at your institution. Scale 1 to 5, 5 = essential, 1 = not important

Use of commercial and non-commercial cloud providers

Are you using commercial cloud providers for HPC

If Yes :
• In choosing a commercial cloud provider(s), which did you intially consider
• Amazon Web Services (AWS)
• Azure
• Google Cloud Platform (GCP)
• Penguin Computing
• Other - please specify
• Did you perform benchmarking on any commercial cloud providers
• Yes
• No
• Don't know

If Yes :

• Do you have any documentation on your benchmarking
• Yes
• No
• Don't know

If Yes :

• Can you share the documentation with us
• Yes
• No
• Don't know
• Which commercial cloud providers are you using. Check all that apply
• Amazon Web Services (AWS)
• Azure
• Google Cloud Platform (GCP)
• Penguin Computing
• Other - please specify
• Are you using a combination of on-premise, commercial cloud providers, and non-commercial HPC resources (e.g. XSEDE, OSG, resources at other institutions). This use case is referred to ias "hybrid"). The three percentages you chose should total approximately 100.
• If Yes : (Maybe Libe provides a 0 to 100 slide bar ?)
  • Percent on-premise
  • 0 to 20
  • Between 21 and 50
  • Between 51 and 99
  • Percent commercial cloud provider
  • 0 to 20
  • Between 21 and 50
  • Between 51 and 99
  • Percent non-commercial HPC resources
  • 0 to 20
  • Between 21 and 50
  • Between 51 and 99

If No :

• Reason(s) you are not using commercial cloud providers. Check all that apply
• Too expensive
• Inadequate performance. Please specify
• Other. Please specify
• Do you plan to re-evaluate your use/non-use of commercial cloud providers
• Yes
• No
• Don't know

If Yes :

• Within the next 18 months
• After 18 months
• Don't know

Comments

Please provide any comments that you think would be useful in the contect of this survey.

Follow-up

May we contact you for further discussion

• Yes
• No

If Yes :

• Please provide email address or phone number (if not already provided in the Identification section)

Welcome The purpose of this survey is to gather input from researchers at Campus Champion instututions on their use of on-premise and off-premise resources for high performance computing.

The information gathered from this survey will be made available to all Campus Champion institutions.

Description This survey solicits input from Campus Champion researchers on their use of on-premise and off-premise resources for high performance computing.

End message Thank you for participating in this survey.

The information gathered from this survey will be made

available to all Campus Champion institutions.
