This paper explores the financial effectiveness of a national advanced computing support organization within United States (US) called eXtreme Science and Engineering Discovery Environment (XSEDE). XSEDE was funded by National Foundation (NSF) in 2011 to manage delivery researchers US working on non-classified research. In this paper, we describe methodologies employed calculate return investment (ROI) for governmental expenditures present lower bound government's ROI from 2014 2020. For...
