OSC's National Collaborations

Collaboration is key to Ohio Supercomputer Center's success and will remain central to its future. Ohio Supercomputer Center (OSC) is dedicated to demonstrating Ohio's leadership in and commitment to science, engineering and technology. OSC offers a wide range of computing resources and has established strong relationships with the National Science Foundation (NSF), Department of Energy, National Institutes of Health, and the Department of Defense (DoD) centers. More specifically, OSC is a partner in collaborations including Internet2 and the DoD High Performance Computing Modernization Program (DoD-HPCMP). OSC's national activities place Ohio among those states leading the way in technology.

Department of Defense

OSC is a member of MOS, a consortium of 17 public and private sector organizations led by Mississippi State University (MSU). MSU subcontracts OSC to assist in leading the MOS consortium in the Programming Environment and Training (PET) initiative of the Department of Defense (DoD) High Performance Computing Modernization Program (HPCMP). PET is hosted at the four DoD Major Shared Resource Centers (MSRCs): The Naval Oceanographic Office (NAVO) at the Stennis Space Center in Mississippi, the Aeronautical Systems Center (ASC) at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio, the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) in Vicksburg, Mississippi, and the Army Research Laboratory (ARL) at Aberdeen Proving Ground in Maryland.

The PET program is designed to bring top-level HPC expertise and support to DoD researchers.

Nanotechnology

Nanotechnology is any technology related to features of nanometer scale (smaller than 100 nanometers): thin films, fine particles, chemical synthesis, advanced microlithography, etc. OSC is hosting a registry of nanotechnology related expertise from across Ohio.
