STEP 2: Set concrete goals, tasks, dates and numbers you can track
Featuring 993 new and updated case-based questions, organized into seven core areas of process design, this Self-Assessment will help you identify areas in which High Performance Computing improvements can be made.
Examples; 10 of the 993 standard requirements:
- Who will process and consolidate the data, indicators and information gathered from institutions, departments and clusters/ sectors and the affected population?
- What is the coverage of the available data, indicators and other information vis à vis the selected population groups, geographic areas and/or thematic issues?
- Will the architectures being put in place to enable the next generation of AI also transform how you approach traditional HPC and general computing?
- Why is cloud adoption in high performance computing so slow, compared to the rapid adoption of cloud computing in your enterprise community?
- Are you looking to simplify deployment of new infrastructure, as hybrid cloud, HPC, analytics or hyperconverged storage infrastructure?
- What are the relationships existing between phenomena and processes occurring on all of the different scales considered in this theme?
- How do traditional categories of risk mitigations apply specifically to HPC and the partnership nature of the platform acquisition?
- Is it possible to provide the performance of an HPC system which also providing the flexibility of a cloud compute environment?
- Which collection of design choices should a solutions architect make to achieve the maximum performance from the HPC cluster?
- Do any existing range queries indices provide the level of performance, scalability, and memory overheads needed in HPC?
Complete the self assessment, on your own or with a team in a workshop setting. Use the workbook together with the self assessment requirements spreadsheet:

STEP 3: Implement, Track, follow up and revise strategy
The outcomes of STEP 2, the self assessment, are the inputs for STEP 3; Start and manage High Performance Computing projects with the 62 implementation resources:
- 62 step-by-step High Performance Computing Project Management Form Templates covering over 1500 High Performance Computing project requirements and success criteria:
Examples; 10 of the check box criteria:
- Project Scope Statement: Is there a baseline plan against which to measure progress?
- Scope Management Plan: Are enough systems & user personnel assigned to the High Performance Computing project?
- Human Resource Management Plan: Is the High Performance Computing project sponsor clearly communicating the business case or rationale for why this High Performance Computing project is needed?
- Quality Metrics: Who notifies stakeholders of normal and abnormal results?
- Cost Management Plan: Cost management â how will the cost of changes be estimated and controlled?
- Schedule Management Plan: Are there checklists created to determine if all quality processes are followed?
- Process Improvement Plan: The motive is determined by asking, Why do you want to achieve this goal?
- Quality Audit: How does your organization know that it provides a safe and healthy environment?
- Procurement Audit: Did you consider and evaluate alternatives, like bundling needs with other departments or grouping supplies in separate lots with different characteristics?
- Risk Audit: Does the High Performance Computing project team have experience with the technology to be implemented?

Results
With this Three Step process you will have all the tools you need for any High Performance Computing project with this in-depth High Performance Computing Toolkit.
In using the Toolkit you will be better able to:
- Diagnose High Performance Computing projects, initiatives, organizations, businesses and processes using accepted diagnostic standards and practices
- Implement evidence-based best practice strategies aligned with overall goals
- Integrate recent advances in High Performance Computing and put process design strategies into practice according to best practice guidelines
Defining, designing, creating, and implementing a process to solve a business challenge or meet a business objective is the most valuable role; In EVERY company, organization and department.
Unless you are talking a one-time, single-use project within a business, there should be a process. Whether that process is managed and implemented by humans, AI, or a combination of the two, it needs to be designed by someone with a complex enough perspective to ask the right questions. Someone capable of asking the right questions and step back and say, 'What are we really trying to accomplish here? And is there a different way to look at it?'
This Toolkit empowers people to do just that - whether their title is entrepreneur, manager, consultant, (Vice-)President, CxO etc... - they are the people who rule the future. They are the person who asks the right questions to make High Performance Computing investments work better.
This High Performance Computing All-Inclusive Toolkit enables You to be that person.
