What term is defined as approximately $15,000 per month allocated to each fellow for running computational experiments?

• A. External Infrastructure
• B. Public Output
• C. Compute Budget
• D. Reference Check

Answer: (C)

The idea being tested is how researchers describe funds set aside specifically to run computational work. A compute budget is the amount allocated to cover the costs of computing resources—GPU and CPU time, cloud credits, storage, and related tools needed to run experiments. Saying about $15,000 per month per fellow makes sense as a recurring, dedicated funding line focused on the computational work itself, rather than on building the overall infrastructure or producing the results.

External Infrastructure would refer to the broader setup or platform that supports work, not the per-fellow monthly allowance for running experiments. Public Output describes the results or artifacts produced, not the funding to generate them. Reference Check is about evaluating a candidate’s references, which is unrelated to budgeting for experiments.
