EC Contract Number: 283449 <br />
Ratio: Information generated by combining more than one pieces of information presented in the questionnaire <br />
(e.g. FTEs per 1,000 cores; this ratio is created by dividing the number of FTEs by the number of cores reported by <br />
the respondent <strong>and</strong> by then multiplying with 1,000). <br />
Assumptions: Assumptions used in the development of the model (e.g. the <strong>cost</strong> per kwh = €0.10). <br />
Calculations: This is self explanatory. <br />
7.4 Sample characteristics <strong>and</strong> descriptive statistics (appendix for 4.2)<br />
This appendix presents analytical information about the characteristics of the respondents. The numerical data <br />
refer only to year 2011. Information regarding 2010 is available in Del. 2.2. “<strong>Computing</strong> e-‐<strong>Infrastructure</strong> <strong>cost</strong> <br />
calculation at national <strong>and</strong> European level” (http://www.efiscal.eu/deliverables). <br />
Type of services provided by respondents <br />
Our <strong>final</strong> sample consisted of 28 respondents. 14 out of the 28 respondents provide both computing <strong>and</strong> <br />
coordination activities while 13 provide only computing services. Only one respondent was solely a coordination <br />
organization. <br />
