Empowering Faculty Across Disciplines
Computer Science & Engineering
Monitor GPU cluster utilization for machine learning experiments. Track which models consume the most power and optimize training jobs for efficiency.
Bioinformatics & Genomics
Allocate sequencing analysis costs to specific NIH grants. Monitor storage growth and compute hours for genomic pipelines.
Physics & Astronomy
Track power consumption for high-energy physics simulations. Demonstrate computational efficiency in NSF reporting.
Climate & Earth Sciences
Monitor the carbon footprint of climate models. Optimize weather simulation workflows to reduce energy consumption.
Benefits for Faculty & Research Administration
Transparency
Faculty see exactly what resources they're using and what it costs, reducing disputes and building trust with IT.
Cost Recovery
Accurate cost allocation makes departmental chargebacks and grant accounting straightforward and defensible.
Resource Optimization
When faculty can see their utilization, they naturally optimize — reducing idle resources and lowering overall costs.
Grant Compliance
Generate detailed reports for NSF, NIH, DOE grant accounting with actual usage data, not estimates.
