Projects
The YWSI team projects are designed to challenge students and encourage cooperation and rapport building with peers.
OSC
Since 1987, OSC has been providing our clients services in four areas, or functions:
Supercomputing. OSC provides the computational power and storage that scientists need to meet their research goals. Whether researchers need to harness the incredible power of a parallel processor cluster to better understand deep space, a vector processor machine to do weather modeling, or a mid-size shared memory processor system to model the human heart, OSC has the hardware and software solutions to meet their needs.
Research. A staff of high performance computing and networking research experts maintain active research programs in HPC and Networking, Homeland Security and Defense, Environmental Sciences, Engineering and Life Sciences. Our goals are to lead science and engineering research efforts, assist researchers with custom needs and collaborate with regional, national and international researchers in groundbreaking initiatives.
Education. OSC has a national reputation for its training and education programs. Staff teach faculty and student researchers through scientific computing workshops, one-on-one classes, and web-based portal training. Ohio students gain exposure to the world of high performance computing and networking during our annual summer institutes for young women in middle school and for junior and senior high school students. And, the statewide, virtual Ralph Regula School of Computational Science coordinates computational science and engineering education activities for all levels of learning.
Cyberinfrastructure. The Ohio Supercomputer Center’s cyberinfrastructure and software development researchers provide the user community with various high performance computing software options. This variety enables researchers to select parallel computing languages they most prefer, and just as important, it creates a test bed for exploring these systems. By taking a holistic approach to generating efficient supercomputing applications for researchers, the Center’s cyberinfrastructure and software development research capitalizes on all the components within the cycle of innovation — development, experimentation, and analysis - and continuously improves the services provided.
Ohio Supercomputer Center’s Summer Institute celebrates 25 years
The group of 16 talented high school students attending the Ohio Supercomputer Center’s Summer Institute will be presenting their research tomorrow evening (June 20) and joining with alumni to celebrate the 25th anniversary of this high-tech, fast-paced summer experience.
HPC System Downtime
The Ohio Supercomputer Center has scheduled a two-phase downtime for all HPC systems starting Tuesday, July 8, 2014, beginning 6 a.m. The first phase of the downtime will end at 6 p.m. that day, when the bulk of services will return to production. The second phase tentatively will last until 5 p.m., July 9, 2014. The downtime will affect the Glenn Cluster, Oakley Cluster, web portals, and HPC file servers. Login services and access to storage will not be available during Day One.
Scientists study biomechanics behind amazing ant strength
A recent study into the biomechanics of the necks of ants – a common insect that can amazingly lift objects many times heavier than its own body – might unlock one of nature’s little mysteries and, quite possibly, open the door to advancements in robotic engineering.
Great Lakes Bioinformatics Consortium Conference
This coming Friday – Sunday May 16-18, the Great Lakes Bioinformatics Consortium Conference (GLBIO) is being held at the Cincinnati Children's Hospital at the University of Cincinnati.
XSEDE HPC Workshop: Summer Bootcamp
In response to the demand for a Hybrid Computing workshop PSC, along with XSEDE, will present a special all-in-one version of the XSEDE Workshops that will allow us to meaningfully cover hybrid computing.
This 4 day event will include MPI, OpenMP, OpenACC and accelerators and run June 24-27. We will conclude with a special hybrid exercise contest that will challenge the students to apply their skills over the following 3 weeks and be awarded the First Annual XSEDE Summer Boot Camp Championship Trophy – worth up to $8.
AltaSim Technologies wins DOE grant for additive manufacturing
The U.S. Department of Energy has awarded AltaSim Technologies nearly $150,000 to further develop the technologies that drive additive manufacturing – adding momentum to an public-private initiative based in Ohio to boost industrial use of modeling and simulation.
Research uncovers DNA looping damage tied to HPV cancer
It’s long been known that certain strains of human papillomavirus (HPV) cause cancer. Now, researchers at The Ohio State University have determined a new way that HPV might spark cancer development – by disrupting the human DNA sequence with repeating loops when the virus is inserted into host-cell DNA as it replicates.
