OSC strengthens global connections through major research computing conferences in 2025

In 2025, the Ohio Supercomputer Center (OSC) demonstrated leadership in an era where artificial intelligence (AI), data-intensive research, and advanced cyberinfrastructure continued to shape priorities across higher education, government, and industry. Throughout the year, OSC staff engaged with national and international communities to share best practices, demonstrate new capabilities, and contribute to conversations defining the future of high performance computing (HPC).

Ohio University students collaborate with OSC on design for Cardinal cluster endcap

On a rainy Friday last October, 14 Ohio University Digital Art and Technology students arrived at the Ohio Supercomputer Center (OSC) in Columbus, eager to take on a one-of-a-kind challenge. Their task: design the endcap for OSC’s newest high performance computing (HPC) cluster, Cardinal, using the cluster’s own advanced artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities.
