OSC To Present Overview Workshop at Wittenberg University

COLUMBUS, Ohio (Jan 16, 2004) — 

On January 27, the Ohio Supercomputer Center (OSC) will present a workshop at Wittenberg University entitled, “High Performance Computing at OSC: An Overview.”

The lecture will be held in the BDK Science Center’s Bailey Auditorium from 3:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m. There is no charge to attend, and members from the community, area businesses, and higher education institutions are invited to participate.

OSC management team members and staff scientists will provide an overview of high performance computing and related resources at OSC. They will discuss available hardware and software environments, procedures for attaining access to OSC supercomputers, and other available resources such as training, consultation, and advanced scientific visualization. OSC faculty leading the Center’s bioinformatics and medical research will speak about research and tools at OSC.

The OSC Springfield Technology Park lead will give a briefing and answer questions about OSC’s new high performance computing center to be located in Springfield.

“Now we have even greater opportunities to provide high performance computing resources and training to the Springfield area,” said Leslie Southern, Director of High Performance Computing. “We are proud to partner with the Springfield community in leading the way for technological and economic development,” said Southern.

As a state-supported institution, OSC’s resources are subsidized through the Ohio Board of Regents, and are available to all Ohio academic researchers and their collaborators.
