High performance computing and networking resources come together at the Ohio Supercomputer Center (OSC) to create an exciting and innovative teaching and research environment. Research using OSC resources spans a variety of disciplines -- medicine, business, computer science, economics, engineering, chemistry, mathematics, physics, and more.
OSC staff assist faculty and student researchers by providing workshops, one-on-one classes, and web-based training and materials. Ohio high school and junior high school students step into the world of high performance computing and networking during OSC's annual Summer Institute and Young Women's Summer Institute.
OSC's education-related programs and initiatives merge with technology to impact the areas of training and outreach on a statewide and national level.
