Methodological approaches to evaluating the effectiveness of a high-performance platform for scientific research have been developed based on experience of the Shared Research Facilities «CKP «Computer science» of FRC CSC RAS. The general characteristics of the CKP «Computer science» are presented, including the main characteristics of its scientific equipment, the organization of the CKP's work and its capabilities. On this basis, a list of indicators of the efficiency of the CKP has been developed, taking into account its specificity and characterizing various aspects (system, technical, effectiveness) of the activity. Methods are proposed for calculating particular and generalized indicators of the effectiveness of CKP, as well as a general methodological approach to assessing its effectiveness. The features of the choice of performance indicators of CKP in solving problems of synthesis of new materials are noted.
